Maybe Steve Hunter has a point.
According to former Carnahan aide Roy Temple's blog, Fired Up Missouri, the Joplin Republican offered an amendment to the MOHELA bill which would take away press space at the capitol and have it made into a workout area for the legislators.
That would give the fat cats in our legislature a place to work off those excess pounds.
A more complete account of the Hunter amendment and how he envisioned the willingness of his special interest friends to finance the project, can be found in this St. Louis Post-Dispatch article.

You are so far off base on this one. Way to drop the ball...MOHELA is dead, as of last Friday all approps bills must be in and MOHELA wasn't. The amendment was not on MOHELA. Smooth slick...smooth.
Fired Up Missouri was incorrect as well. If you listened to the debate, which it seems you don't, the bill was spoken favorably upon by democrats and Republicans. Maybe next time both of you can get your facts straight.
