In January, Sen. Harold Caskey, D-Butler County, and Sen. Jim Mathewson, D-Sedalia County, the other two supporters of the override, will be term-limited out of office.
"I haven't seen him for probably two months," said Sen. Jim Mathewson, D-Sedalia, with the exception of a roast for Democratic senators earlier this week.
Sen. Wayne Goode, D-St. Louis County, said he disagreed with Maxwell's decision, and Sen. Jim Mathewson, D-Sedalia, expressed concern about the Senate's situation.
Senator Jim Mathewson proposed an amendment to the bill to add more than $22 million for community colleges, but felt uneasy about the possible effects of entire bill.
"If we're really going to feel like Santa Claus in the Senate today, let's just give everything to everyone," said Sen. Jim Mathewson, D-Sedalia, reflecting on the size of the bond issue.
