The Missouri Senate's Conservative Caucus, a hardline group of Republicans who have pushed against both Democrats and fellow members of the GOP in their quest to enact certain right-wing priorities, is disbanding.In a letter released Monday, five of the group's members called for "a new coalition of leadership" in Jefferson City's upper chamber, aiming to "seek unity within a single majority caucus ... under exclusively the Republican banner.""It is time for the Republican Caucus to go fully on offense," they wrote.
