The 2025 session ended last week and lawmakers endorsed many of Gov. Mike Kehoe’s priorities. That included placing a state board in charge of the St. Louis Police Department and sending $50 million to help fund K-12 scholarships that could go toward private schools. The session also included the passing of contentious GOP-led efforts to repeal Proposition A’s paid sick leave requirements and to place an anti-Amendment 3 measure on the 2026 ballot. STLPR statehouse and politics reporter Sarah Kellogg discusses the highs and lows of the session, followed by a discussion with Reps. Ian Mackey, D-Clayton, and Jim Murphy, R-St. Louis County.
