Description

CBS St. Louis September 10, 2021 Republican Missouri Gov. Mike Parson is considering calling a special legislative session to challenge President Joe Biden's plan to require COVID-19 vaccination or testing for many workers. Parson told the Kansas City Star in an interview Friday that Missouri will oppose the White House initiative on "multiple fronts." He didn't elaborate but left open the possibility of a special session. "I don't plan on letting that happen in Missouri," Parson said of the mandate-or-testing proposals. "I think the president is totally wrong on the policy he's setting forth."
