Act for Missouri's Freedom Pulse Episode 10

When the new chair of the Missouri Senate Appropriations Committee needs an “expert” to help rewrite our school funding formula… who does he turn to?

In this episode of Freedom Pulse, we take a hard look at Senator Rusty Black, the man who now controls the Senate’s purse strings, and reveal who he says is his go-to expert for reshaping how Missouri funds its schools. Once you hear it, you may see his priorities—and the future of education funding in our state—very differently.

We also dig into a huge court decision and a long-running accountability fight in Jefferson City:

A Cole County judge strikes down HB 2062 as an unconstitutional “Franken-bill,” blasting it for violating Missouri’s single-subject and clear-title protections. We explain why that ruling matters and why lawmakers keep trying to pass these stitched-together omnibus monsters anyway.

The ongoing saga of the missing Taxpayer Ombudsman at the State Tax Commission: public jokes about “having a job” for an Ombudsman, private backtracking, and sixteen years of refusing to fill a position that state law requires to protect taxpayers.

The PSC’s new SB 4 data-center tariff and why the “fair share” talking points don’t match the fine print when it comes to Missouri families’ utility bills.

Rep. Justin Sparks’ resignation, the now-open 110th District seat, and what we’ll be watching going forward.

A Real Talk radio clip where Bill Eigel reminds listeners not to trust the slogans—then we broaden that principle: don’t believe anyone’s branding, check the voting record.

An update on our Watchers from the Galleries program and how you can help keep eyes on the Capitol during session.

If you’re tired of polished campaign talk that doesn’t line up with what happens on the House and Senate floor, this episode is for you.
