Wright among bipartisan group pushing for special session


Rep. Mark Wright, R-Springfield, was one of seven legislators, four Republicans and three Democrats, who have gone on record calling for a special session to revive the Ticket to Work program.
The effort came today during a meeting with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial board.
The Ticket to Work program, which was eliminated during the 2005 Medicaid cuts, provides assistants to help the disabled to help them hold regular jobs.

Will any reporter ever ask Wright if his employment at a nursing home has anything to do with his opposition to fighting Medicaid Provider Fraud? Does this have anything to do with the way he's going to repay the $50,000 loan he made to himself?
