Rep. Grill has served on important committees including tax reform, small business, health insurance and senior nutrition. In 2008, Rep. Grill passed sponsored legislation, which was signed into law by the Governor, which helps fight identity theft in Missouri and protect consumers who have been the victims of identity theft.

Famous quotes containing the word state:
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
