News Summary:
On March 6, 2026, Missouri State Sen. Adam Schnelting proposed a state investment fund, the “Show-Me Prosperity Fund,” which he believes could generate sufficient revenue to replace all state taxes, as reported by KY3. Previously, on February 11, KY3 and the St. Louis Cardinals launched Home Plate, a comprehensive broadcast package providing fans free over-the-air access to the team's live games and programming, from minor to major leagues. Earlier, on January 28, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled in favor of homeowners wishing to install solar panels, affirming a 2023 state law that prohibited HOAs from preventing such installations. This followed KY3 reporting on January 9 that the Ozarks region was experiencing worsening dry conditions, with parts of Missouri and Arkansas classified under moderate or severe drought, leading to varied impacts for farmers and homeowners. On January 8, KY3, alongside Kansas City Beacon reporter Meg Cunningham, highlighted efforts by Missouri leaders to secure more money for rural hospitals, addressing a crisis exacerbated by a 2024 congressional cut of $1 trillion from Medicaid, partially offset by the creation of the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Fund.
