From Fired Up
The Fired Up! Weekly Wrap: Good, Bad and Ugly
Good: The legislature has finished its work on the state budget.
The legislature approved a $23.1 billion budget for the state’s upcoming fiscal year on Thursday.
Highlights include $12 million for St. Louis' Metro, $111 million for a statewide interoperability system for law enforcement, $31.2 million for the Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.
Ironically, the budget from the legislature's "fiscal conservatives" is larger and uses more federal stimulus money than the plan proposed by Gov. Nixon.
Gov. Nixon's agreement to hold tuition steady for public college students was included in the budget.
More than 1,200 positions have been trimmed from the state bureaucracy
The budget includes money for an expansion of health care, with details set to be worked out next week.
Bad: House Republicans killed a win-win-win-win proposal to provide 35k parents with health care.
It wouldn't cost the state a dime. Didn't matter.
The hospitals volunteered to pay $50 million to make it happen. Didn't matter.
The plan had broad bipartisan support (outside the Missouri House). Didn't matter.
It was supported by the Republican Senate. Didn't matter.
It was supported by the Associated Industries of Missouri. Didn't matter.
It was supported by chambers of commerce. Didn't matter.
We all pay more when the uninsured are forced to use emergency rooms for basic care. Didn't matter.
Overall, "a classic example of ideology overwhelming facts.''
Ugly: Republicans in the Missouri House are really impressed with themselves after killing a plan to provide health care for 35k parents at no cost to the state.
House Budget Czar Allen Icet thinks he's done a “tremendous job" helping out the working poor. We're sure the working poor are huge Allen Icet fans.
Peter Kinder stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the House during Wednesday's contentious debate.
Tim Jones is blissfully unaware of his own absurdity.
The Repubs didn't like it at all when Mike Talboy said it wasn't very Christian of them to support tax cuts for the wealthy while depriving the poor of health care.
Other Notes:
Did we mention that House Republicans killed a plan to provide health care to 35k parents for zero dollars? It's still nutz, still true.
Jay Nixon has the highest approval rating of all governors in the SurveyUSA universe
Roy Blunt is consolidating his support in the GOP establishment.
Meanwhile, new CD7 candidate Darrell Moore is already distancing himself from Blunt, swearing off earmarks and saying he won't seek Blunt's endorsement. Can't imagine why.
Roy Blunt and Kit Bond are peddling fear. Devoid of any substantive arguments, it's about all they've got. An oldie, but a goodie!
David Steelman says the GOP establishment is a "cabal of officials, lobbyists, consultants and advisers"
Abolitionist Rob Schaaf is softening his position on slavery.

Mehlville School District Awards
At the school district’s annual award’s ceremony last evening, Cindy Christopher, Tom & Mary Jane Correnti and I were presented with the Distinguished Service Awards.
I’m not a big fan of awards. They’re nice, but receiving them is always a bit awkward. I’m sure there are many deserving volunteers out there haven’t had anyone spend the time to submit an awards package. I admit that it’s nice to be recognized for service to your community, especially when I was chosen for the same award last year. When I received a call last Friday from the district’s Community Relations’ Department informing me of my award, I told them I’d be there.
Imagine my surprise to receive the following e-mail from Mehlville School Board member Karl Frank, Jr. on Wednesday, the day before the awards’ ceremony.
Cindy, Mike, and Tom,
I know I am the last person you ever care to hear from on issues such as this, but I am writing with a request. Let me first say that I can really care less about the Distinguished Service Award, and whether or not you guys receive the award. I do what I do for the outcome, not the recognition, which is why all of my awards and certificates are in a box in my storage room downstairs.I know that you did not solicit recognition from the district either. I know that you were nominated by a supporter or supporters and the committee, upon which I served, scored those nominations the highest of the other seven nominations. Therefore, you are the winners of the DSA.What I am writing to ask you is that you consider refusing the award, not on my behalf, or on the behalf of other board members, but on behalf of progress for the Mehlville School District. Cindy, you were always the first to say that this is about the children, and it is, especially this request. While if we operated in a bubble, and had all of the funding we needed, and the greatest of personnel in place to educate the children of our community, things would be a lot easier, but as you know, we do not. We do not operate, nor educate, in a vacuum.Right or wrong, your acceptance of the DSA will cost this district an enormous amount of political capital, and that is not capital for my sake, or the boards sake. It is a political capital that has been built over time that has allowed us to communicate our message of education effectively, and is largely responsible for our ability to secure an additional $5 million a year for operations. All I am asking is that we set personalities aside, to be magnanimous, and to truly put the district ahead of all of our needs. Please don't reject this idea out of hand. Think on it for a little bit. Weigh the pluses and minuses.I hope that you will see this the way that I do for all of our benefit.Sincerely,Karl-- Karl Frank, Jr.karlfrankjr@gmail.comOwner - Karl Frank, Jr. Consultantshttp://www.karlfrankjr.comDirector - Mehlville Board of Educationhttp://mehlville.karlfrankjr.comCell. - 314.518.7352
Karl was right about one thing. He the last person I care to hear from! I wish our school board all the luck, but with Karl aboard, they’re going to need it.
