Advancing ISRS
Support across Missouri continues to grow for ISRS legislation.
Just last week, David Farr, CEO of Emerson Electric sent a letter to legislative leadership expressing his company’s support for ISRS. The following is a quote from his letter:
“We at Emerson understand the important link between having a reliable energy infrastructure and a strong economy for the future. This legislative effort supports important investment in our aging electric energy infrastructure, enhances reliability for our business and the state of Missouri, and creates must needed jobs.”
The diverse list of ISRS supporters continues to grow. Major corporations such as Burns and McDonnell, ABB, Emerson Electric, and Worldwide Technologies all see the value in uprgrading Missouri’s electric infrastructure: we’re preparing our state for the future while putting Missouri in position right now to compete for new business and jobs. Small business too, like Excelsior Springs Hospital and the Gonzalez Companies, see the value in ISRS. Furthermore, local chambers (from Kansas City to Warrensburg to Sedalia to Lake of the Ozarks to Jefferson City to Cape Girardeau) all know the positive impacts ISRS will have on their local communities.
Missouri’s highly trained workforce also acknowledges the benefits of ISRS. From the KC Building Trades to the St. Louis Labor Council, Missouri’s workforce stands united and recognizes the jobs impact for present-day and the future.
From every corner of the state, momentum and support continue to build for this much needed legislation.
