Missouri Legislature:
House:  116 Republican.  45 Democrat.
Senate:  24 Republican.  7 Democrat.
They set the budgets for all state departments.  Republicans hate government as proven time and time again, especially in Alaska.
Makeup of Missouri Legislature is almost identical in political disparity to Alaska.  The same ideology orchestrated nationwide by the Koch terrorism system through ALEC bribery system and the gullibility of brainwashed voters to vote against their own citizen interests.
