All those millions spent by a billionaire to make everyone else jump through hoops. To what end? Increase the bond interest rates for Missouri's two largest cities?

I'm surprised that Cynthia believes (or believed) that Ambulance Districts should exist.

missed the obvious joke on the 1st try (3.00 / 1)

obviously Cynthia's refusal to adhere to the universal rule of political events (free food) did not pay off. Hunger is not enough of a motivator to get overcome breaking a universal rule.

Seriously, going from State Rep to losing an Ambulance Commissioner race in 4 months is pretty brutal
