Neosho Daily News Publisher Rick Rogers's column featured a few paragraphs about Gary Nodler's theater meltdown:
"Boy, I bet Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, wishes he decided to do a little work Friday afternoon instead of seeing a matinee at the theater.
Nodler is taking a lot of heat in the media and on Web sites concerning his argument with an aide for developmentally disabled adults at a showing of the "Fantastic Four" at Joplin's Northstar 14 theater. Nodler and his brother walked out of the theater, complaining about the noise, which the aide found offensive to her group. Then word leaked that Nodler, along with other state lawmakers, receive free passes to movies from the United Motion Picture Association. In these days when cuts in the budget have severely hurt state programs -- like developmentally disabled support groups -- one would think Sen. Nodler would be a little more understanding toward this group of constituents, especially when that group of moviegoers actually paid to get into the theater."
