May 2014

Late Tuesday morning, people in the Senate gallery started chanting “Expand Medicaid now,” according to press accounts.

The noise upset the sensitive ears of the senators. Eventually, Capitol police were told to remove the people.

So that’s how it goes in the Republican-controlled General Assembly these days:

They vote for tax measures that ultimately will cut services to the people of Missouri.

They reward the rich more than the poor.
