Speaker Tim Jones Announces Listening, Policy Tour Across Missouri
Next week, speaker Tim Jones will be meeting with voters, media and leaders across the state to discuss legislative issues for upcoming 2013 session.
We have a great, four-day, 20-city tour taking place Dec. 10 through Dec. 13. On this tour, we will speak to voters, as well as community and business leaders across Missouri to obtain their input about the important issues facing Missouri.
I also will conduct numerous media interviews along the route so all Missouri voters can be informed regarding the challenges and potential solutions confronting their state legislature.
An initial schedule is as follows. A more detailed schedule will be available late
this week.
