Bill targets lawsuits in 'plaintiff-friendly' St. Louis


Business groups are praising a bill under consideration in the Missouri Senate that would restrict when people can join together to sue over injuries. The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Glen Kolkmeyer, of Odessa, said the proposal would "keep a lot of lawsuits out of St. Louis," a city seen by many businesses as having judges and juries overly sympathetic to the people suing them.
