MAYOR'S DISCUSSION Mayor Rose commented that she, Mike, and Dawn attended the
MML Legislative Conference last week. It was very good, but
being moved to a later date due to weather, proved problematic
with our timing to voice our opinions on some legislation. We were
able to meet with Senator Luetkemeyer, left a note with Senator
Nurrenbern, Representative Deaton, and Senator Lincoln Hough's
office about an ask for Current regarding infrastructure. We will be
going back down to Jefferson City next week with the NRCC. The
5
Governor was in town for a ribbon cutting up in Platte City. He was
very gracious to everyone in the room. He is very pro-skill trade
and loved the idea of the new Workforce Development Center and
it was all very positive. If you want to attend after hours with the
NRCC, it is at the Jazz Museum tomorrow from 5-7 pm, if you
want to go. Riverside Chamber is holding the first event at the
Argosy's new Speakeasy on April 17th, it is where the spa area
used to be on the hotel side. Let Robin know to get you registered
if you want to attend. A fun story I want to share is that we have a
lady in our city that lives on High Drive Terrace, Leah Burnett who
wrote a children's book called The Odd Dog. This is a sweet book
and is available for $15.
