( KTRS ) Legislative leaders say providing resources to help with flood recovery efforts is a top priority.

Missouri Department of Transportation spokesman Matt Hiebert says the agency still is assessing the extent of damage from the rare winter flood. But Hiebert says the agency so far has identified three or four locations where pavement has been affected by the floods.

Ways to pay to fix roads and bridges and changes to ethics polices also were named by Republican leaders as top goals.
