In one of the best Missouri political speeches in recent memory, State Auditor Thomas Schweich rips into the corruption in Jefferson City and without mentioning him by name mentions "candidates who seem to be bought and paid for by one donor." Of course, the candidate to whom Schweich is referring is former Speaker of the House Catherine Hanaway, who is running for governor and has been receiving hefty contributions from retired billionaire Rex Sinquefield. Schweich will likely be an opponent of Hanaway in the 2016 Republican primary, but that doesn't lessen the truth in what he is saying.

Who is Schweich's biggest donor?
Anyone?
Care to say, Randy?
Shouldn't your headline read "Pot Calls Kettle Black"?
I'm glad you posted this and I'm using it, too, for a blog post---and crediting you as the source, of course---but his claim of all the welfare abuse is just so much white, middle- and upper-class nonsense if not an out-and-out lie. If he himself found so much corruption in the system, why wasn't it reported? That's pretty outrageous on its own.
