Senate Stalls On Desegregation Money Vote

April 21, 1997
By: Allison Girvin
State Capital Bureau

The Senate stalls yet another day on deciding what to do with school desegregation funds.

Allison Girvin has the story from Jefferson City.

Instead of putting the measure to a vote, Senators continue to argue over a bill that would give desegregation money to impoverished schools.

This means Kansas City and St. Louis city schools would recieve most of this funding.

St. Louis County Senator Steve Ehlmann says it's not just city schools that deserve the money.

Actuality: Steve Elhmann

Contents: I'm asking for a little consideration for school districts that are growing and have kids crowded into trailors because they can't build buildings fast enough.

With lawmakers in session only four more weeks, the bill might not make it through the Senate.

Reporting from the capitol, I'm Allison Girvin.
