JEFFERSON CITY | A conspiracy theory won a bit of legislative legitimacy last week in the form of resolutions presented in Missouri House and Senate committees.

The issue involves the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP, an agreement among the United States, Mexico and Canada that … well, what it does depends on whom you ask.

According to official sources, such as the White House and the SPP itself, the partnership is an economic and security pact that “outlines a comprehensive agenda for cooperation among our three countries while respecting the sovereignty and unique cultural heritage of each nation.â€
