When Jay Nixon decided to ignore the voters, ignore the Missouri Constitution, and ignore the power of the legislature, he spit in our faces. But why? Maybe because his special session is failing. Maybe because, to save the centerpiece of that legislation, House Speaker Steve Tilley needed protection from the grass roots. Maybe because Jay… [Read more…]

Aerotropolis is a pretty obvious attempt to shift tax money into the pockets of Jefferson City favorites. It’s an example of crony capitalism at its worst. Now, KMOV Channel 4′s Craig Cheatham shines the light on the people buying and selling St. Louis in this series. Not just Aerotropolis, but the whole oligarchy of incompetent,… [Read more…]

I have a question for State Senator Eric Schmitt: Who says that St. Louis’s 18 million square feet of vacant warehouse space isn’t good enough for Chinese goods? I heard Senator Schmidt on KMOX a couple of weeks ago. He scoffed at the Show-Me Institute’s analysis of available warehouse space for China Hub saying that… [Read more…]

Giljum’s the business manager for Operating Engineers Local 148 and a lecturer at University of Missouri-St. Louis. It’s in the UMSL classroom that he pontificates and brags about the . . . the uglier side of negotiations.… [Read more…]

Governor Nixon: What does it take to get your attention? What does it take to get you to act? Your University of Missouri System humiliates this state, and you refuse to act. Under your nose, the UofM teaches or encourages: Politically motivated violence Politically motivated industrial sabotage Politically motivated threats of violence and sabotage Supporting… [Read more…]

And, he’s back. Missouri House Speaker Steve Tilley (R-Perryville) has signed onto legislation designed to circumvent the Electoral College in presidential elections. Like his position on embryonic stem cell research and the national debt, Tilley seems far out of step with Missouri’s Republican base on this. And this guy wants to be Lt. Governor? Please.… [Read more…]
