93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
State Rep. Chuck Basye (R-Rocheport) appeared live in-studio on “Wake Up Columbia” to preview Missouri’s legislative veto session. While he’s a strong supporter of GOP Governor Mike Parson, Representative Basye says he’ll vote to override the governor’s veto of a $300,000 program that’s aimed at sex crimes against children in Lincoln County. The governor says the money was not part of his budget recommendation, and benefits a single county. Basye says there are large numbers of children being sexually abused in Lincoln County, and told listeners his wife was sexually abused by a family member when she was ten years old:
