Today’s Post-Dispatch ran this editorial regarding gifts from local politicians that most of us wuld like returned. A puzzling look back at the actions of pols from Peter “strip club” Kinder to local hater of the unemployed Brian Nieves.
Brian Nieves, Jim Lembke, Rob Schaaf and Will Kraus: The Four Senators of the Apocalypse combined to help create one of the strangest legislative years in recent Missouri history. These four Republicans helped block local control for St. Louis police, tilted at imaginary federal windmills and, most infamously, stood between Missouri unemployed workers and already promised federal aid. They stood down on that misbegotten filibuster only after members of their own caucus threatened them with lumps of coal in their Christmas stockings.
