SUMMARY: In Missouri, child care challenges are impacting the manufacturing sector, with 94 of 114 counties classified as child care deserts. The St. Louis Development Corporation is addressing this by creating a 24/7 workforce development hub for manufacturing, aiming to convert a 150,000-square-foot building into a training center. Governor Mike Kehoe emphasized that accessible child care allows parents to focus on work, thereby boosting the economy. The initiative, called The Monarch on MLK, is inspired by a Philadelphia model and funded by the American Rescue Plan Act. The facility is set to open for businesses this summer.

SUMMARY: A pickup truck crashed into a 7-Eleven on Watson Road, causing significant damage and leading to an investigation by St. Louis County police. This incident follows a recent dramatic smash-and-grab, with police suggesting the crash might have been an attempt to steal an ATM, which remained untouched. Business owners are growing frustrated with the rising costs associated with such crimes, particularly as the community struggles to support local businesses. Surveillance footage from a previous incident involving a Dodge Ram and a tax business was also referenced. The North County Police Cooperative is assisting with the investigation.

Abortions to resume in Missouri after a judge blocks restrictions

fox2now.com – SUMMER BALLENTINE and HALLIE GOLDEN, Associated Press – 2025-02-14 20:02:00

SUMMARY: A Missouri judge has blocked restrictive abortion regulations, allowing abortions to resume in the state. The ruling follows a constitutional amendment approved by voters in November that enshrined abortion rights. Previous regulations required providers to perform unnecessary pelvic exams and meet strict facility requirements, which many clinics could not satisfy. Judge Jerri Zhang deemed these regulations discriminatory compared to other healthcare services. Planned Parenthood plans to restart abortion services soon, emphasizing that the licensing laws were politically motivated barriers to care. The ruling is temporary, pending the outcome of ongoing litigation over Missouri’s near-total abortion ban.
