Last update: 11 hours ago

Missouri Water Rates & Trust: Kirkwood officials kept a $27.5M offer from Missouri American Water quiet, then discussed steep household rate hikes through 2037—sparking resident anger over transparency as bills could jump about 43% by 2037. Democratic Divide Over Israel: Missouri’s Aug. 4 primaries spotlight a party split on Israel policy, with CNN pointing to a rematch between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell as the debate intensifies. Banking Deal in Arkansas: RiverWind Bank’s unsolicited sale offer set up its eventual acquisition by FNBC Bank, a first whole-bank deal since 1912—showing how deal interest can start quietly. Tourism Leadership: Hot Springs named Devin Heath as Visit Hot Springs CEO, outlining a first-six-month plan focused on listening and building a destination strategy. Food Safety & Lawsuits: New lawsuits target Taco Bell and Taylor Farms over a Cyclospora outbreak tied to recalled iceberg lettuce, adding to growing legal pressure on major suppliers. Local Business Pulse: A Missouri Restaurant Association survey found more than half of restaurants saw fewer customers during the World Cup, with traffic and timing hurting some spots. Fuel Watch: GasBuddy data shows Vernon County diesel hit $4.14/g (week ending July 18), while Missouri averages stayed elevated.
