Governor Eric Greitens has called two special sessions of the Missouri legislature costing taxpayers over $150,000 and counting all while adding MORE red tape in Missouri, not removing it! Call Gov. Greitens and tell him to practice what he is preaching!

Governor Greitens has said “This is your government. We want to hear from you. What’s broken? What’s working? Let us know so we can fix it”  Well, IKC let’s do just that! You can find on the Governor’s new website, https://nomoredtape.com, a place where you can leave feedback.

What’s Broken?

• A Governor that uses bullying tactics on Missouri elected officials http://themissouritimes.com/37642/senators-reject-pay-increases-accuse-gov-greitens-using-intimidation-tactics/
  http://www.kansascity.com/opinion/editorials/article159526964.html

• A governor whose legislative agenda hurts working Missourians, and who has indicated he will allow HB1194 to become law. HB1194 will lower the paychecks of St Louis minimum wage earners by 23%, and prevent other local communities from raising the minimum wage. Talk about government overreach!
