What did the Missouri legislature accomplish?
It’s report card time for Missouri’s state legislators for the 2017 regular session that ended May 12. Click on the links in the table below to find out what yours accomplished. We asked each legislator to provide a self-grade and rationale behind it (though dozens did not respond), then assigned a grade of our own, taking into account how many bills each lawmaker sponsored and co-sponsored and how far those bills made it through the legislative process. (A full description of our rubric can be found here.)
