With 3 weeks to go, the state legislature adjourned Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. without taking up HJR 9. The House and Senate have yet to reconcile a budget that Governor Jay Nixon could agree to AND they have $2.3 Billion in stimulus funds to place before May 8th. A reasonable person would think that their simply isn’t enough time or political will to hurt 240,000 registered Missouri voters through unnecessary and expensive election reform, but some legislators aren’t letting photo ID die quietly.
Rep. Shane Schoeller (R-139) told David Catanese yesterday in response to his story about photo ID that the bill would be brought to the House floor nearly next week. Don’t these guys have enough to keep them busy with 15 days left in session? Isn’t dealing with the economic crisis, balancing the budget, helping Missourians secure more jobs and insuring quality healthcare a long enough list of REAL problems? We encourage you to call your legislators TODAY to remind them to SOLVE real problems rather than CREATE problems for Missouri voters!
