On Monday, April 14, the General Assembly honored the hard work and dedication of the state's lineworkers by celebrating Missouri Lineworker Appreciation Day.

"I am incredibly thankful for the dedication and hard work of our state's lineworkers," said Rep. Phil Amato, R-Arnold. "Our state has experienced several severe weather events this spring, including destructive winds, heavy rain and even tornados. With every storm, these brave men and women put themselves in harm's way, often working in difficult conditions, to get Missourians' power restored as quickly and as safely as possible."

Twelve Ameren Missouri lineworkers met with lawmakers from throughout the Show-Me State during their day at the State Capitol. In addition to a behind-the-scenes tour of the building and visits with lawmakers and elected officials, they also received a House resolution from Rep. Amato and a Senate resolution from Sen. Jamie Burger, R-Benton, recognizing and celebrating the hard work of every Ameren Missouri lineworker.
