Lembke & Cunningham Defend Engler
Submitted by .Sean on October 25, 2010 - 9:25am
Sens. Jim Lembke (R-StL County) and Jane Cunningham (R-StL County) have an open letter in The Missouri Record today challenging assertions made by the Campaign for Liberty's Paul Hamby about Majority Leader Kevin Engler's leadership. As I noted last week, Hamby's list of grievances did seem to be light on the facts.
Lembke's defense of Engler is particularly interesting, given his particular brand of Republicanism and support for the agenda of I'm-not-a-lobbyist-I-just-lobby-people-in-the-Capitol-all-the-time Ron Calzone. Calzone's Missouri First, Inc. organization is behind "The Missouri Leadership Project," which wants to oust Engler.
Commence speculation regarding upgraded committee assignments offered to Lembke and Cunningham.
