Wrap: Working in groups of four, Missouri senators are going through hundreds of ideas in emails from citizens.
The emails came through a new state Senate program called, "Rebooting State Government."
The groups are focused on all parts of state spending ranging from education, to social programs, to transportation.
One senator proposed reducing the state's prison population by 2,000. That would allow the state to close a prison.
Each group has the task of coming up with five ideas to help make government more efficient.
