KSNF/KODE — A Southwest Missouri lawmaker is hoping to take some pressure off of military families, who want to see the legacies of their loved ones live on. State Representative Bob Bromley, of Carl Junction, is backing a measure to foot the bill when a highway is renamed in honor of a fallen soldier or first responder. It costs thousands of dollars to make the new sign and put it in place, something he wants the state to cover. He tells us the issue was highlighted last year with a military death.
