In case that red badge to the right hasn't caught your attention already

Today is the first day of this year's Missouri General Assembly. And with a gunkload of more snow already falling on Missouri (that'll inundate the UK weekend after next – you've been forewarned again, Eurostar!) they won't convene on Thursday or Friday.

It gives everyone plenty of time to check out my new project, Missives from Missouri. This new project will post the weekly missives and news releases from many of the 197 members of the General Assembly. As of today, at least 23 members (14 house and nine senators) have indicated they will submit, or already are submitting, content to Missives from Missouri. And that number will grow as the session progresses.

Over time, it's my hope that Missives from Missouri will become a key addition to your bookmarked pages of Missouri political Web sites. This site will become an aggregate of reports and releases, sorted by legislator and the bills they mention. Any comments you may have about it, feel free to leave them here.
