JEFFERSON CITY, MO (KTVI) - A Missouri senator used rapper 50 Cent to help out during a filibuster. Monday, Democratic Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal read for almost an hour from 50-Cent's self-help book, "The 50th Law."

The Missouri Senate later tabled a sales tax proposal after the filibuster. Chappelle-Nadal is against a plan that allows unincorporated areas of St. Louis County to vote on a sales tax to fund police.

Chappelle-Nadal says the county's government should not see additional funding until it looks at a number of issues.
