From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and St. Louis Today:
In 2000, Libertarian Phil Horras ran for lieutenant governor under a simple premise: If elected, he’d work to get rid of the job. Too bad Mr. Horras got trounced, particularly in light of the utter disregard for taxpayers exhibited by the current Missouri lieutenant governor, Peter Kinder.
As reported Sunday by the Post-Dispatch’s Jake Wagman, Mr. Kinder has made a practice in his six years in office of charging taxpayers for hotel stays in some of St. Louis’ finest hostelries — usually the Chase Park Plaza or the Four Seasons — while in our region on mostly political business.
In all, Mr. Kinder has spent at least 329 of the 2,275 nights he’s been lieutenant governor in St. Louis on the taxpayers’ tab.
By comparison, former Lt. Gov. Joe Maxwell, the Democrat who beat Mr. Horras in 2000, spent less than $2,500 for hotel stays during his four-year term. In the last six years, Mr. Kinder has spent more than $35,000 on hotels, often billing taxpayers for fancy meals at St. Louis restaurants, too.
And that's not all, of course, folks. You need to learn about this leech and scalawag of a representative. (See link below).
Let's get rid of Mr. Kinder, poste haste.
