Swampland for Sale in Jefferson City
Timothy Birdnow
Missouri's RINO governor Mike "shut it all down" Parsons is apparently as corrupt as he is stupid. He has been shelling out cash to consulting firms to be told how to deal with Covid 19. And by cash I mean to the tune of over $300 grand!
How much is going to wind up in his or his buddies pockets?
Eric Greitens was Missouri's governor until he was framed by St. Louis Prosecuting Attorney Kim Gardner. Part of why Greitens went down was because he wanted to reform the corrupt system here in the state. I was not a big fan of Greitens, a former Democrat, and I do think his big mouth lost him a lot of friends, but I do know Greitens was serious about reform. He wanted a waiting period of five years before a legislator could become a lobbyist, for example, and most of the members of the ethics committee which condemned him were within a year of retirement and had much to lose if Greitens remained in office.
It looks to me like Parsons is in bed with the same people who pushed Greitens out when he was trying to clean up the sewer in Jefferson City.

Obviously, sewers resist being cleaned up. There's a guy back east who is finding that out, the hard way.

Yep Dana. I think Missouri is a microcosm of what is happening in D.C.

There's a lot of it going on, all around the country. It's one reason that Republican governors and other officials are so hated. It's not that they don't reach into the cookie jars themselves at times, it's that they're usually better about hiding the crumbs. Democrats are blatant about their activities.

That's right. Democrats are not so hypocritical because they make no bones about their corruption. Republicans claim to be the party of principle but in reality do the same things the Donkeys do. It's that hypocrisy that gives the GOP a bad name. Better to be open about your graft.
