"The Missouri
Lieutenant Governor's office is peculiar in that the office does not
generally have a real impact on the everyday lives of most
Missourians.
In fact, current and past Lt.
Governors have commented on its part-time nature. The late Sen.
Eagleton noted that the biggest part of the Lt. Governor’s day was
watching the Missouri river flow by the office window. Others have
campaigned to abolish the office or serve for reduced pay.
If the effectively part-time
office of Missouri Lt. Governor cannot be given a more meaningful
purpose -- justifying the salary received -- then I will give no
less than $10,000.00 back to the state treasury or charity."

Office, Missouri Western District Court of Appeals, United

How Can We Provide a Real Voice for
Missouri's Seniors?
Too much lip service is given to helping senior citizens
across our state and country. One certainty is that
"Baby Boomers" do not consider themselves "senior citizens" in
the traditional sense. They will dictate new ways for
government to deal with their needs. Not only do Baby
Boomers control much wealth and represent a very large swath
of the general population, they are very aware of the moneys
they've contributed to government.
How is It That Veterans Have Put Up
With the System for This Long?
Michael's grandfather served many years in WWII and, now,
must travel over 100 miles to receive the care he rightfully
earned when serving his country.
