Hot Off The Presses

My 2009 Legislative Report is hot off the presses and headed to a mailbox near you in the 10th District. If you just can't wait for your very own copy to arrive, you can view the entire report here, including a scorecard of bills I passed this year, a big victory for education of foster kids and help for the housing crisis. There is even a kid's corner and a breakdown of how YOUR state tax dollars are spent.

The 10th District had a great year in a tough time. Next year it will be even tougher. Please let me know if you have ideas, questions, concerns about the upcoming legislative session. Comment on this blog, come to Coffee Break on Friday mornings from 9-10 at 5400 Troost Avenue, or just track me down on Twitter or Facebook. What do you see as the biggest wins this year and what can we do better next year?

Coffee Break Schedule

UPDATED!!!!

Back in January I started a weekly coffee with constituents that has become known as "Coffee Break w/ Senator Justus." Every Friday morning from 9-10 AM we meet at Coffee Break, 5400 Troost Avenue, to talk politics, meet our neighbors and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

This is an opportunity to ask questions, share information about local events and pitch your ideas for state legislation. From January-May I provide weekly updates from the frontlines in Jefferson City. When I'm not in legislative session we continue our lively political talks and it has become a great way to exchange ideas and network with community activists and local non-profits.

Fall is a busy time and there will be a handful of Fridays through the end of the year when I am out of town and not available to attend Coffee Break. For your planning purposes I've compiled a list of Fridays when I WILL be at Coffee Break.
