I had the same reaction when I saw that headline on a Kansas City Star article.
Unfortunately, it was not Missouri Governor Matt Blunt who vetoed the bill, but Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who had the good sense and decency to veto similar legislation.
Governor Blunt is expected to sign the Missouri legislation into law.

If our elected official's campaigns were funded by the "people"(public campaign financing) I think their decisions would more realistically reflect the "people's" wishes instead of our politicians current decisions reflecting what individual or corporate donors want and then just pandering to voters with hollow rhetoric to get reelected.
When the citizens know that their money is funding the polit's campaigns there might be more interest in the political process.
