Small earthquake centered in St. Louis County
ST. LOUIS — For the second time in recent weeks, some St. Louis area residents awoke on Monday to a disconcerting rumbling. But this time, the earthquake was right beneath their feet.
The quake at 6:25 a.m. had its epicenter in southwest St. Louis County — just the sixth documented earthquake over the last two centuries centered in St. Louis city or St. Louis County. The U.S. Geological Survey pegged it as a magnitude 2.7. Seismologists at Saint Louis University believe it was a 2.8 or a 2.9.
Either way, it wasn’t a major or even moderate quake. There were no reports of damage or injuries.

Kansas budget impasse threatens spending, coal bills
TOPEKA, Kan. — A legislative dispute over the budget held up work Monday on the year’s final spending bill and a measure allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas.
The Senate convened only briefly, and few members were at the Statehouse. The House met but considered only one minor bill, a measure attempting to settle a water dispute in eastern Douglas County.
The inaction gave legislative leaders a chance to work out the two chambers’ differences. Senators expected to debate the coal plants bill Tuesday, but negotiations over the budget didn’t resume Monday night.

Henry said junk food and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle are taking a serious toll on the health of Oklahoma’s young people.

Missouri tax revenues drop sharply
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Alarms are sounding in the Missouri Capitol over a sudden downward spiral in state tax revenues. And those concerns already have scuttled millions of dollars of sought-after spending in next year’s budget.
Missouri has just two months remaining in its 2008 budget year. As of April 25, things looked pretty good — net general revenues were up 5.7 percent over the same point a year ago.
But in just one week, those revenue figures plummeted. As of Friday, Missouri’s year-to-date growth rate over 2007 had fallen to 1.9 percent, according to the Department of Revenue.

Bush hails recovery of Kansas town
GREENSBURG, Kan. — President Bush hailed the resilience of this town and its tiny high school graduating class Sunday, one year after a tornado barreled through with astonishing fury.
Never before had Bush delivered a commencement address at a high school, and his presence was meant to reflect how far Greensburg has come. From nearly total devastation last May 4, this town is recovering, and hope has been rekindled.
