Million Dollar Question: Why Is Andy Blunt Working Against Special Session?

As the governor, legislators and other leaders are working on an agreement regarding a special session that could save jobs at the Claycomo Ford plant and help Missouri produce the next generation of automobiles, lobbyist Andy Blunt and his team are working vigorously to oppose it.

Blunt's work to block a special session is especially interesting, given his ongoing responsibilities as the campaign manager for Roy Blunt's senate campaign. In fact, the Elder Blunt reportedly made calls to legislators during the last week of the session in favor of the Ford bill. 

Theories are floating around about which Andy Blunt client is trying to kill the session, but we honestly don't know what to make of them. 

We don’t always have the answers at Fired Up!, but know that our readers often do.  Do you know why Andy Blunt and his associates are working against the proposal to help Missouri’s economy? If so, please drop us a note on the tip line.
