One of the many bills that didn’t cross the finish line this past Missouri legislative session was one backed by agricultural giant Bayer. The bill would have shielded Bayer from liability in some lawsuits where its herbicide Roundup has been accused of causing cancer. With the end of the regular legislative session, the bill is dead for now. But as St. Louis Public Radio’s Evy Lewis reports, it’s likely not the last Missouri will hear of the issue.
