St. Louis City Democratic Representative Jeanette Oxford opposes the bill calling it a "freedom to lie" bill. She also says local municipalities should have some control over these agencies.
Newman said her bill is in response to an event on the House floor, in which her and several other female legislators were not allowed to speak in the three hour afternoon debate. House records, however, show that several women representatives were allowed to speak on the debate in the morning and one -- Rep. Jeanette Oxford, D-St. Louis City -- even offered an amendment.
Rep. Jeanette Oxford, D-St. Louis City, added "Let's not constantly amend the Constitution to try to solve future problems, but instead elect good people to make good decisions about the future, when the future gets here."
