Missouri Senate and Missouri House Called to Order

The opening days of the Missouri's 2007 Legislative Session were filled with tradition, ceremony and speeches. Families and friends gathered to watch the legislators as they were sworn into office, and many new legislators were busy readying their offices. No real action on legislation will occur for the first couple of weeks as legislators spend time adopting rules and appointing committees.
