Democrat Club to meet Thursday

The Moniteau County Democratic Club will meet at the Nic Nac Café Thursday, Oct. 23, at 6 p.m. The club just completed the Highway 50 litter pickup Saturday with thanks to Raymond Hader, Stuart Inglish, Gail and Dorothy Hughes for participating.

At the September meeting there were speakers and a discussion relating to the two Constitutional amendments that will be on the ballot in November.

It was the decision of the club to support Amendment 2 which will allow evidence of a prior criminal act to be admissible in sex crimes against children.

Amendment 3 if passed would have a very negative impact on our local school system and for this reason the club strongly opposes this amendment.

The meeting Thursday will be a discussion of the two additional amendments on the ballot in November. Constitutional Amendment 6 deals with permitting early voting in general elections and Amendment 10 would limit the Governor's power in fiscal matters.
