Wrap: Democratic Senator Scott Sifton says the next three days of the legislative session aren't going to be very productive after Republican lawmakers shut off debate before passing right to work legislation.
Wrap: Senator Scott Sifton of St. Louis County began the discussion in the Senate by reflecting on the sacrifices that the police have made especially in Ferguson.
Democratic Senator Scott Sifton from St. Louis County dominated the debate that took place on the floor and said he wanted to make sure the bill would not cause people problems after it was passed.
That bill later passed by a vote of 21-13 after Democratic Sen. Scott Sifton filed several motions to adjourn, leading to several brief recesses so staff could untangle Sifton's motions.
"While certain facets of the law enforcement response to Ferguson have themselves been the subject of scrutiny and even criticism, it's absolutely clear that we as a state owe these officers an enormous debt of gratitude for all they have sacrificed and done to keep the public safe," said Scott Sifton, D-St. Louis County.
