Lobbyist event shows disconnect with the people
Rep. Mike Parson, R-Bolivar, knows the best way to serve his constituents...at least if his constituents are well-heeled lobbyists and their fat-cat employers.
Today's Kansas City Star picked up on the story that was launched by the Fired Up Missouri blog, which printed a letter written by Parson inviting lobbyists to "meet and greet" freshman legislators. Perhaps if the legislators would spend more time meeting and greeting their constituents our state would be in better shape.
