Public-employees union endorses Page
Speaking of state Rep. Sam Page (see post below on the man he hopes to replace, Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder):
Communication Workers of America, Local 6355, which represents more than 7,000 public-sector employees in Missouri — including the Department of Social Services and the Department of Health and Senior Services — announced today that it is endorsing Page, D-Creve Coeur, for lieutenant governor.
In a statement, local vice president Linda Martin said, “We in Social Services are witness to the daily sufferings of Missourians from the Blunt-Kinder Medicaid cuts three years ago. We have seen enough.
“We know it is time Missouri headed in a new direction…”
Page, she said, “has shown as a state representative and as a doctor, that he understands the importance of affordable health care. We know that as Lt. Governor, he will fight to bring affordable healthcare to all Missourians.”

Evidently Page has shown the public employee unions that he is willing to back endless expansion of the public payroll. This endorsement by the union is yet another reason to vote for Kinder.
