Senator-elect Matt Bartle wants to abolish the State Transportation Commission. He says the un-elected six-member commission lacks accountability -- something he'd like to see in the executive branch as well. Bartle would place Missouri's transportation department under a director appointed by the governor.

Representative Matt Bartle says the bill doesn't go far enough because it doesn't protect alzhiemer's patients in other settings and it doesn't protect individuals with other forms of dimentia.
Committee member Rep. Matt Bartle, R-Lee's Summit, said he was not convinced. "If this is going to save so much money, why isn't the market already doing it?" he asked Wilson.
