JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — After meeting with investors in a proposed St. Louis soccer stadium, Missouri Gov.-elect Eric Greitens still opposes spending state money for the project.

Senior adviser Austin Chambers said Greitens met Wednesday in Jefferson City with members of the group SC STL.

The group is seeking to build a $200 million soccer stadium downtown in hopes of attracting a Major League Soccer expansion team.

The group wanted $40 million in state tax credits to help fund the project.

Greitens previously said using state money for the stadium would amount to “welfare for millionaires.”

After an “open, frank and constructive exchange,” Austin says Greitens remains unconvinced.

The Republican takes office Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A new Kansas congressman is dishing out discipline after his 17-year-old son pulled a dance move resembling a sneeze during a photo shoot with House Speaker Paul Ryan after the House swearing-in ceremony in Washington.

U.S. Rep. Roger Marshall tweeted: “He’s grounded.”

During the photo shoot Tuesday, Cal Marshall held the Bible with his father and Ryan. As the photographer prepared to take photos, the son raised one arm in the move popularized by sports celebrities known as dabbing, hiding his face as if he was about to sneeze.

Ryan asked if he was OK. As the teen began laughing, Marshall said: “He’s sneezing.”

Marshall, an obstetrician, won Kansas’ 1st Congressional District seat after beating incumbent tea party favorite Tim Huelskamp in the Republican primary.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa officials are reporting outbreaks of two wintertime viruses, norovirus and the flu.

Experts say flu and norovirus are often mistaken for each other even though their symptoms differ. Flu viruses tend to cause coughing, sneezing, body aches and fevers. Noroviruses tend to cause vomiting and diarrhea.

The Iowa Public Health Department also says a second confirmed flu victim has been reported — an elderly man with underlying health conditions in central Iowa. The state’s first confirmed flu death this season was recorded Dec. 19.

The department’s medical director, Patricia Quinlisk, told The Des Moines Register that she’s particularly concerned because of a rare occurrence this flu season: All four main flu strains are circulating in the state.

Quinlisk says it’s not too late to get a flu shot.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — A man accused of killing a Kansas police detective has pleaded guilty to capital murder.

Curtis Ayers pleaded guilty Tuesday to gunning down Kansas City, Kansas, Detective Brad Lancaster on May 9. He also pleaded guilty to nine other charges related to Lancaster’s death.

The 28-year-old Ayers agreed to serve life without parole on the murder count. He could face additional prison time on the nine other charges when he is sentenced March 14.

Prosecutors say Lancaster was shot seven times when he exchanged gunfire with Ayers near the Kansas Speedway. Ayers then stole the detective’s car before carjacking another vehicle and then stealing a third. He drove into Kansas City, Missouri, where police shot and wounded him before taking him into custody.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Legislature is planning to begin streaming live audio of committee hearings over the internet.

The three rooms that host the most high-profile committees will have live audio this month.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports the other 10 rooms used for hearings are expected to have live audio before the end of the 2017 session.

Kansas open government advocates have long sought streaming audio, which was mandated in the final budget bill lawmakers passed last year.

The program is funded by a three-year, $199,000 grant from the Information Network of Kansas, which helps public entities launch e-government services.

Residents have been able to listen to Kansas Senate or House sessions in real time on the internet for several years. State officials say there aren’t immediate plans to begin streaming video because it would be too expensive.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Authorities suspect a fire at a veterinary center could be the sixth arson since October in a north Lincoln neighborhood.

The latest fire in the Belmont area occurred at Pet Care Center of Lincoln on Sunday evening. No injuries to staffers or any animals have been reported. Police say a security video shows someone in the building before the fire started.

Veterinarian Amy Walton says another fire occurred at the center on Sept. 19. A fire inspector blamed floodlights being too close to a soffit, but Walton is suspicious.

Authorities say the other fires under investigation include two at Belmont Baptist Church on Oct. 3 — one early in the morning and another late that night.

No arrests have been reported.

HOXIE, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Fire Marshal is investigating to determine the cause of a fire that killed a northwest Kansas woman.

Sheridan County authorities say 61-year-old Linda Cook died in a fire at her home about 12 miles south and just east of Hoxie.

When firefighters arrived, they were told a person might be inside the home. Cook’s remains were then found.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon set an aggressive agenda to attract jobs after the Great Recession.

An Associated Press analysis shows the Democratic governor promoted business deals projected to cumulatively create about 48,000 jobs in exchange for up to $2 billion of state incentives.

As Nixon prepares to leave office Jan. 9, those businesses have reported hiring a little over 21,000 employees. The state so far has paid about $166 million of incentives to those firms.

Both figures are likely to rise, because the incentives will continue for years after Nixon leaves office.

But Missouri’s experience highlights the extent to which states are willing to go to try to attract jobs, and the difficulty in determining whether their promises ultimately pan out.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Missouri Gov.-elect Eric Greitens is standing firm on his decision to not support state funding for stadiums, including the proposed $200 million soccer stadium in downtown St. Louis.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Greitens, speaking Monday, said he has “completely ruled out” state funding for stadiums, making it unlikely that a request for $40 million in tax credits for the soccer stadium project will be granted.

The investor group SC STL is seeking up to $80 million in city funding, in addition to state tax credits, in hopes of building a stadium that will attract a Major League Soccer expansion team. A spokesman for SC STL did not immediately respond to an interview request.

BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — The first phase of a makeover of a 5-mile stretch of highway in Branson could be finished by Memorial Day.

The Joplin Globe reports the construction aims to alleviate traffic congestion along West Highway 76 by creating a wider, continuous pedestrian walkway in the area, which includes Branson’s entertainment district.

The construction is part of Project Branson, a coalition representing more than 20 area businesses. The group’s goal is to create a walkable, unbroken chain of attractions, restaurants, theaters and retail shops.

The revitalization is expected to cost $80 million, funded through a partnership with the city and by business owners along the corridor. It could take eight years to complete.

City officials say the revitalization is forecast to increase sales by $1.4 billion over the next 20 years.
