I predict that the KC-KATY Connector will be on a faster track without Blunt, but that's just my opinion. MO DNR's Kurt Schaefer is the one primarily responsible for the $18M settlement from Amerern. Now that Schaefer is State Senator-elect for the 19th district, you can rest assured that the connector will have a strong voice in the legislature.
