Voucher forces pony up for Kinder

The never-say-die pro-voucher contingent pumped at least $338,500 into Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder's re-election campaign, according to the 30-day-after-the-election report filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission. That total was more than half of the money Kinder reported receiving during the reporting period.

In addition to the previously reported $300,000 contributed by the Humphreys family of TAMKO in Joplin, Kinder received $38,500 from numerous committees formed by retired billionaire Rex Sinquefield, all of which came after Aug. 28 when campaign contribution limits were removed, but did not have to be reported within 48 hours because all were below the $5,000 48-hour reporting threshhold.

Kinder received $633,881 during the reporting period, and spent $242,127.71, leaving him with $926,047.49 in his campaign account.
