AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Utility Regulation: The Missouri Public Service Commission set an Oct. 7 deadline for parties to intervene in Missouri-American Water’s request to adjust water and sewer infrastructure rate adjustments, seeking about a 2.5% bump in annual water revenues and 0.5% in sewer. Public Safety Tech: Gov. Mike Kehoe issued an executive order tightening Missouri rules for automated license plate readers, including 30-day deletion requirements, limits on non-law-enforcement use, and a ban on integrating AI facial recognition. Healthcare & Competition: Independent pharmacies are suing Express Scripts in Arkansas over alleged underpayment below drug acquisition costs, adding to state-level pressure on PBMs; Novo Nordisk and Anthropic also announced a drug-discovery and AI collaboration. Agriculture & Costs: A FarmDoc webinar expects Missouri and other Midwest cash rents to stay near current levels as input costs offset market rallies. Energy Prices: GasBuddy reported spotty but generally elevated fuel pricing across Missouri, with diesel still hovering around the mid-$5 range statewide in the week ending Sept. 12. Rural Business: MU Extension helped connect two southwestern Missouri farm businesses into a local dairy-to-produce supply chain, boosting fresh access. Local Economy: The Greater Maryville Chamber highlighted emerging leaders at its annual banquet. Fraud & Finance: A Missouri man pleaded guilty in federal court to a cattle-investment Ponzi-style scheme tied to his role at Community First Bank, involving about $4.48 million in loans/credit lines.
