Former Missouri House Speaker officially a lobbyist

Tilley is the nut who had Rush installed in the MO Hall of Fame.

JEFFERSON CITY -- When Steve Tilley announced two weeks ago that he was resigning from his position as Speaker of the Missouri House, it was no secret that he was going to return to the Capitol as a lobbyist.

Today, he made the transition official by registering with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

His first three clients are Fred Weber Inc., a construction company based in Maryland Heights; Supermarket Merchandising Inc., a St. Louis-based manufacturer of merchandise displays; and Tilly's own company, Strategic Capitol Consulting LLC.

He is currently the only lobbyist registered to represent each company.

During the most recent legislative session, Tilley faced accusations from Republican Sen. Jason Crowell that he was already lining up potential clients while serving as House Speaker. Specifically, Crowell pointed to Tilley's insistence that Southeast Missouri State University receive funding in excess of the state's other public universities.

1. A real piece of work this guy was, hiding NOTHING while in office

lied to the people who voted him into office, knowing what he was going to do all the time.

2. He was getting term limited out of the statehouse,

So he decided to check out early so he could start pulling down that big paycheck. Yes, he's the one who gave us the Rush bust, the one that is under twenty four hour camera surveillance so that it doesn't get vandalized. What I'm waiting for is some scandal to come out now that he's out.
