SUMMARY:On the Horizon: New Research from the Show-Me Institute
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a deep dive into three critical challenges facing Missouri today.\nCEO Brenda Talent will be joined by Director of State Budget and Fiscal Policy Elias Tsapelas\, Director of Municipal Policy David Stokes\, and Senior Policy Analyst Avery Frank for an examination of the issues and policies that could impact Missouri’s future: \n\nMissouri’s Budget Problems – Elias Tsapelas will explain how Missouri’s recently signed budget and its hundreds of millions in spending restrictions reveal years of spending growth outpacing revenue\, turning temporary federal relief into permanent obligations\, and what it will take to restore accountability to the budget process.\nPublic School Personnel Boom – Avery Frank will present research he conducted with Director of Education Cory Koedel and published in a recent paper\, which examines how increased staffing and lower student enrollment is creating funding shortfalls that require difficult tradeoffs.\nData Centers – David Stokes and Avery Frank will discuss how municipalities can evaluate these projects\, comparing potential benefits such as investment\, jobs\, and tax-base growth against concerns about electricity demand\, water usage\, noise\, and land use.\n\nJoin us for lunch and learn about the policies that could influence Missouri’s next chapter. You won’t want to miss it. \nREGISTER HERE\nThursday\, August 27\, 2026\nMAC West\n1777 Des Peres Road\nSt. Louis\, MO 63131\n  \nDoors open: 11:30 a.m.\nDiscussion and Q&A: 12-1:00 p.m.\nTicket Price: $20.00\n(includes lunch and beverages)\nREGISTER HERE
