John Lamping, R-Ladue, to the show.  Lamping decided not to run for another term this fall as the state senator representing the 24th District.

During that time, he gained a reputation, and some enemies, over his willingness to buck his own party -- especially on fiscal issues. Originally published on June 3, 2014.

Ryan Silvey, R-Kansas City, joins Mannies and Rosenbaum for the second part of the show. The former House Budget Committee chairman (and Rock Band fan) has proposed an alternative of sorts to "straighten up" Medicaid expansion. It may serve as a template (along with a House bill from Rep. Noel Torpey, R-Independence) for breaking the legislative impasse on the issue. Originally published April 16, 2014.

The St. Elizabeth Republican’s sprawling district extends into St. Charles, Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson counties, as well as mid-Missouri outposts, such as Jefferson City and the Lake of the Ozarks. Luetkemeyer’s elections have been relatively low-key since he won the wild 2008 election for the now abolished 9th congressional district. The former bank examiner is a member of the House Financial Services Committee, which regulates the nation’s banking and financial industries. Originally published on March 24, 2014.
