Nearby: Moscow Mills, MOBy Stan Schwartz Troy Free Press Editor’s Note: In the original version of this story, the Journal incorrectly reported the board of aldermen had started impeachment proceedings against Meyer. According to the city attorney, the board has never suggested or considered impeaching the mayor. The Journal apologizes for any inconvenience this error may have caused. MOSCOW MILLS – A Lincoln County judge recently dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Moscow Mills mayor against her own city. Lisa Meyer was seeking damages against the City of Moscow Mills because she said she was treated in a “disparate manner based on her sex,” according to court documents. It also stated she harassed based on her sex, and retaliated against. According to Circuit Judge James Beck, Meyer failed to file her lawsuit before the statute of limitations expired. He noted she had one year to file from the last date of reported discrimination, but did not do so.

Nearby: Meta, MODion Hines | Managing Forum Editor One fall morning, I opened Instagram to find a new feature, Meta’s Muse, a personal artificial intelligence agent. As an adorable round avatar waved at me from my phone, I was simultaneously charmed and unnerved. There has been intense coverage of all things new and alarming about AI: the rise of LLMs, sprawling data center construction, growing energy consumption, security breaches, and now the emergence of agentic AI, but despite my skepticism and mistrust, I found Muse quite cute. I was initially tempted to see what it could do. Meta’s Muse is promoted as an on-demand AI butler primed to handle the busy work that bogs us down. According to Meta, Muse is capable of ordering Amazon shipments, booking restaurant or travel reservations, and even making “suggestions unprompted” to anticipate users’ desires. This may sound appealing to those of us who are overworked, underpaid, and tempted by big tech’s guarantees of even greater convenience.

Nearby: Elsberry, MOSuper majority required for passage; Elsberry fire district passes levy increase By Gregory Orear Senior General Manager TROY – While a majority of Lincoln County voters approved a $20 million bond levy for the ambulance district, it wasn’t enough to meet the 57.1 percent super-majority required for passage. According to the Lincoln County Clerk’s office, 10,453 voters, or 52.8 percent, approved the bond issue while 9,332 said no. However, according to Missouri law, bond levy proposals require a 57.1 percent voter approval compared to the 50 percent threshold for a sales tax. Consequently, the proposal needed to swing 845 votes from no to yes in order to pass. The proposal would have extended debt service levies by five years, generating nearly $20 million in revenue for the construction and equipping of a new station near Hawk Point and equipment upgrades throughout the district. Ambulance Director Ray Antonacci was disappointed with the results while appreciative of the support.
