You know what repulses me about this political administration? They reward failure, over and over and over. The latest example is the guy who got a state employee of the year award last Friday for not saving a woman trapped in a burning vehicle. My teenage son said he would be shamefully embarrassed if someone tried to reward him for failing to pull someone out of a burning vehicle. Thankfully, this will be the LAST employee of the year trainwreck for this administration. I pray for that poor girl who did not survive. To have a potential good samaritan stand up on a stage and accept an award from Governor Blunt for failing to save someone from burning to death is beyond comprehension and beyond disbelief.

Tim - The state had an employee appreciation day on Friday, May 2nd. One of the award recipients for employee of the year went to a Corrections worker for trying to save a woman trapped in a burning car. In the end, the girl died. Why would the state give this guy an award, when the story didn’t have a happy ending? I, like 95% of the rest of Missourians, simply don’t get these people. And I’m not sure it’s a republican/democrat thing anymore. Granted the good samaritan deserved a pat on the back for trying to help, but he didn’t deserve an employee of the year award. It is disrespectful to exploit this situation by placing it in an awards ceremony in the first place, and not only that, it is too sad of a story to celebrate. It made me cry, because I have a young daughter who could have been that girl.
