In his address to the Missouri General Assembly this week, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe discussed the start of a comprehensive, multi-phase plan to bolster law enforcement resources and to create harsher penalties for those who commit crimes.
Public safety was a central priority in the governor's first State of the State address. He also discussed plans to eliminate the state income tax, increase support for anti-abortion "Pregnancy Resource Centers," and to improve child care and K-12 education.
Jason Hancock, editor-in-chief of the Missouri Independent, joined KCUR's Up To Date to discuss the governor's vision for his first year in office.
