Brief: MO Weed Timeline; MO Roads Solution; St. Joe Escapes KC Snow

Will Missouri find a solution to address roads?

Meanwhile, Kehoe and Schatz said they oppose toll roads, an idea that’s been raised on and off for decades — especially for rebuilding and widening Interstate 70 between the outer edges of metro St. Louis and the Kansas City area.

Kehoe said 60 percent of the state’s population lives within 30 miles north or south of I-70 and “before you get to the letter L in toll, they start freaking out.” Moreover, the Legislature last year went on record against the idea.

 

Don’t expect to get your medical pot tomorrow.

Missouri Medical Marijuana, headquartered in Columbia, was founded the day after the election, with the goal of creating an online directory of doctors and dispensaries — or “a Yelp! for the legal medical marijuana industry in Missouri.”

It will be probably a year before the state health department has finished writing rules and Missourians can walk into a dispensary in Missouri and buy medical marijuana.

 

The Kansas City Health Department runs into issues with food for the homeless.

“Everybody was ready to stand up for themselves,” she said. “We’re prepared to face the law.”

The city had shut down last week’s gatherings, trashing and bleaching much of the food, because the food was not prepared in licensed or approved kitchens and was considered a public safety risk, the city’s director of health, Rex Archer, said last week.

 

St. Joe avoided a snowfall that slowed traffic in Kansas City this morning.
