📰 News we're reading
1. NT Daily: 107 Adams — Two Council Members, Two Votes & What Comes Next (newstribune.com) — Two Jefferson City council members explain why they cast opposing votes on rezoning 107 Adams Street for a proposed resource center and seasonal emergency shelter, a plan the council rejected 6–3 last month. They walk through neighborhood feedback, concerns about the downtown location, and how the city might still expand homelessness services despite the setback. 
2. Jefferson City seeks grant to replace closed Ohio Street bridge (abc17news.com) — Jefferson City leaders will vote Monday on seeking a major state grant to replace the long-closed Ohio Street bridge, restoring direct vehicle access to Washington Park and its new pickleball courts. The project, mostly grant-funded with some local sales tax money, would improve emergency response times and support ongoing park upgrades, but wouldn’t likely begin until 2027 if approved.
3. Missouri issues license plate reader guidance to law enforcement (hannibal.net) — New state guidance issued in Jefferson City sets strict rules for how police across Missouri, including local agencies, can use automated license plate readers. The standards emphasize privacy protections, short data retention, and audits, while Gov. Mike Kehoe pushes for legislation to permanently regulate the technology and ensure it’s used only for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
4. Governor Kehoe Signs Executive Order Providing Input Cost Relief to Missouri Agriculture Industry (suntimesnews.com) — A new executive order issued from Jefferson City temporarily relaxes fuel rules and truck weight limits to help Missouri farmers cope with high diesel and fertilizer costs during harvest. Local producers and haulers can use dyed diesel on highways and carry heavier loads for agricultural purposes, potentially easing transportation expenses for Jefferson City–area farms and agribusinesses.
