More Missouri Twitter-ers
If you’re getting annoyed with all the talk of Twitter, move along to the next post.
But in Jake Wagman’s last post about Twitter, a commenter asked which legislators have Twitter accounts. Below is a list, although probably not comprehensive, of the Missouri public officials I have found on Twitter; if you know of others, leave a link in the comments so I can add it to the list.
UPDATE: Thanks to all those who gave me more names!
