Don Wells Really Needs a Tutorial on Democracy
Rep. Don Wells (R-Kwik Kash) has had enough with this whole democracy bullcrap. Perhaps inspired by other countries' sham voting processes we've heard so much about in recent weeks, Wells has instructed members of his Financial Institutions Committee that dissent and open voting will not be tolerated in his domain.
These are the instructions from Wells to members of his committee, as summarized in an email from ranking member Mary Nichols (D-Maryland Heights) to colleagues this week:
*All votes will be unanimous. The Chairman has told members that if they cannot vote with the Chairman they should excuse themselves from the meeting until voting is complete.
How 'bout that freedom, huh? If I were a member of that committee, I'd vote against the Chairman at every opportunity, just because I could.
Wells' respect for the democratic process was revealed last year when he conducted a sham "hearing" on behalf of his fellow payday lenders (he owns a Kwik Kash in Cabool) in which he refused to allow any contrary perspectives to be heard.
