## Resource

Hour 2 - Good Monday morning! Here's what Nick Reed covers this hour: It's election season, which means we will be talking to candidates this week. You can view sample ballots by clicking here . Sen. Curtis Trent joins the program this morning. He is the incumbent for the 20th Senatorial District , which consists of Barton, Dade, Greene and Webster counties. Curtis gives us an update on how the campaign is going, what he's worked on in the past, and where he wants to see Missouri go moving forward. Spending & the budget. Why the increase in spending? Lori Rook, who is challenging Curtis Trent, will join Nick on Tuesday at 8 a.m. Weeks after the Obama Presidential Center’s star-studded opening in Chicago, a subcontractor who previously claimed his company was stiffed for nearly $4 million has shut down operations and laid off 25 union workers. ALSO - Congressman Eric Burlison joins the program: Democrats are becoming more and more radical. Eric shares his thoughts on Amendment 4 and Amendment 5. Eric also endorses Curtis Trent on air.
