The Missouri Legislature, which exists as a super-majority Republican held body in both the senate and the house, closed out their veto session with a resounding rebuke of governor Jay Nixon.  Using their time period to overturn several pieces of legislation that met with the governor's pen, they overturned everything from expansions on predatory lending to limits on the ability of cities to control plastic bags and minimum wages.
   HB 618 – Expands the types of medical professionals who can attest to a cause of death, to include physicians’ assistants, assistant physicians and advance practice registered nurses.
    HB1022 – Changes the state’s restrictions for insurance refund or rebate programs.
    HB1098 – Changes the state’s financial requirements for out-of-state trust companies.
    HB878 – Expands the arrest and property-seizure powers of private corporate security personnel.
    SB20 – Exempts commercial laundries from paying sales or use taxes on materials and utilities.
    SB142 – Requires the state Department of Resources to give the General Assembly an “impact implementation report” for actions required by the EPA under the federal Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act.
    SB345 – Increases the fee that banks can change consumers for loans of 30 days or more, to a maximum of $100. Limit now is $75.
The bills, which provide expanded rights by lenders to require greater fees on short term loans, as well as rules that provide for a task force to refute requests by the EPA all act as part of the current agenda.
Out of all the legislation rebuked in this session, many find themselves deeply troubled by HB878, a bill that flew under that radar which Governor Jay Nixon referred to as "troubling". 
With HB878 now the law of the land in Missouri, corporations are allowed - with minor paperwork and little training - to offer their own private police forces that have the power to arrest and detain individuals as well as seize/confiscate property.  The complete legislation is visible here:  http://www.house.mo.gov/...
Under it, corporate officers are provided free roam of the state:
and so it begins, this is a really good look at what there publicans envision with their return rights to state ED it creates a another governing faction that writes and enforces it's own laws and those laws benefit business not the constituents the republican ultimate agenda that sounds more like KKK law or Nazi SS AND GERMAN STORMTROOPERS will they have open carry rights .45's strapped to their leg hangin low???????

republicans are the commanders of those who would carry out that intrusion in the lives of Americans, the billionaire's they are collective commanders n chiefs of the right wing army for civilian aggression. the only thing between them and us is our vote use it or lose it, literally recognize
