Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin, who moonlights as a paid employee of the business lobbying Associated Industries of Missouri, is once again attempting to ram through anti-union legislation that would make Missouri a right-to-work state.
A hearing on Hunter's bill was scheduled for Wednesday, but according to a St. Louis Post-Dispatch article, it was boycotted by five Democrats and two Republicans.
A quick examination of the makeup of the Workforce Development and Workplace Safety Committee, of which Hunter is the chairman, indicates that seven of 12 members (not counting Hunter) did not bother to show up for the hearing. Hopefully, this is a sign that Hunter's annual crusade is going to meet the same fate it has met in previous years.
so Randy, are you prepared to talk about Dr. Simpson being the highest paid supt. in the area?
