The reason the mo legislature did this is dumb, but the $4.5M is a small amount. For instance the STL County Library budget in 2021 was over $56M, but the state aid portion of that is less than $400k. In other words, it’s a rounding error, and getting the state out of local library decisions should actually be better than allowing them to influence things.

How are the budgets of more rural libraries affected? Also, why is lower funding pitched as "getting the state out of local library decisions" when revoking the funding is a consequence of the state involving itself in local library decisions?
