Parson addresses Lake of the Ozarks parties, Medicaid expansion vote

Governor Parson said Tuesday that “poor decisions were made” at the Lake of the Ozarks over Memorial Day weekend. However, he also said that wasn’t representative of all of Missouri.

The lake was packed over the holiday, and some people ignored the state’s social distancing guidelines.

Health director Randall Williams said the coronavirus is still here, and spreading illnesses could have long-lasting and tragic consequences.

Parson also said the vote on Medicaid expansion will be on the August election ballot.
