Olbermann Blasts Missouri Republican
our princess is going to file to run for governor of Missouri shortly
good news for Jay Nixon
---correction: lieutenant governor is currently what she filed for office
State Sen. Brad Lager (R-Savannah), whose district currently represents Livingston County, filed for lieutenant governor. He is among four Republicans (Charles W. Kullmann, of St. Louis, Peter Kinder, of Jefferson City, and Mike Carter, of St. Charles) seeking the office. There are also six Democrats (Susan Montee, of Jefferson City, Dennis Weisenburger, of St. Joseph, Fred Kratky, of St. Louis, Becky Lee Plattner, of Grand Pass, Judy Baker, of Columbia, and Sara Lampe, of St. Louis) seeking the office, as well as one Constitution Party candidate, Cynthia L. Davis, of O’Fallon.
Welcome to my blog. As a member of the St. Louis chapter of the Retired Steelworkers and a member of the Alliance for Retired Americans, I can say without a doubt groups are busy in the St. Louis area. This blog is a modest effort to inform members and the general public of some of our activities and concerns. I will also "soapbox" areas and issues.
We see the solution to many of the woes of the St. Louis area as economic and political. St. Louis has a myrid of problems, but a strong economy with responsible leaders would help greatly in the solution to these woes. Alas, such is lacking on several levels with many of the "civil leaders" squabbling like children or worse, taking care of special interests instead of the public. Business leaders? get real, many of these so called leaders shame the term "Captains of Industry".
Once the St. Louis area was a leader in many areas. Now, some of the area can be compared to Third world areas with no problems what so ever.
That is unacceptable.
