Fired Up: Hunter activities more criminal than those of John Bowman
Turner Report

Fired Up Missouri appears to be engaging in a considerable amount of
hyperbole with its claim that Rep. Steve Hunter, R-Joplin, is involved
in activities that are as bad as those for which Rep. John L. Bowman,
D-St. Louis, was indicted for last week.

But the blog makes good points and uses The Turner Report to bolster
its case when noting the conflict of interest Hunter has concerning
his side job as a recruiter for the lobbying group Associated
Industries of Missouri and his chairmanship of the House Workforce
Development and Workplace Safety Committee.

As he has for the past three years, Hunter has filed legislation that
would benefit his employers and cripple unions in the state of Missouri

Time for Another Look at the Steve Hunter Racket
Fired up Missouri

Let's be honest: because it involves corruption in the prosecution of
his official duties, the gambit that Rep. Steve "Suckerpunch" Hunter
is currently engaged in at the Capitol is more intrinsically criminal
than anything John Bowman ever did. It is a mystery how an elected
legislator, employed by the Associated Industires of Missouri, can
push that group's key legislative proposal, a pusillanimous "Right to
Work" bill, and still walk the streets a free man.

Next week, the House committee chaired by Hunter will hear legislation
sponsored by Hunter that's written by the special interest group that
pays Hunter (I would link to the House hearing website for this
hearing, but Hunter makes a point to post public word of his hearings
no earlier than the statutorily mandated 24 hours in advance, so as to
limit opportunities for public testimony and transparency, of course).
How lovely. Yet while Hunter and the GOP House pursue legislative
tactics better suited to Venezuela than Missouri, the mainstream media
haven't seemed to notice.
