CATHERINE HANAWAY: Amendment 3, Census Rule, & Police Probe

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway joins the show on Election Day eve to emphasize voter mobilization across the state. Hanaway reviews critical ballot measures, urging support for Amendment 3 and warning that Amendment 6 would require an 80% legislative threshold to amend citizen-initiated laws passed over the last decade, allowing out-of-state interests and well-funded industries to dominate state policy. Hanaway clarifies her office's conflict of interest referral regarding St. Louis Police Chief Robert Tracy's contract renegotiation, handing the Sunshine Law inquiry to an independent Kansas City law firm with findings expected within weeks. The conversation concludes with Hanaway outlining Missouri's leadership in a 22-state legal coalition defending a Commerce Department rule to exclude non-citizens from congressional apportionment counts in the decennial census.
