Where's Kingery?


Three Rivers Community College had their lobbyist and their president thank the Blunt/Kinder axis for the two million dollars all community colleges in the state of Missouri are to receive as a result of the Lewis and Clark Initiative. Of course no mention was made of the serious long term mistake the Lewis and Clark Initiative is or how the result is even higher tuition for Missourians.

Also what was not mentioned was the hard work Gayle Kingery the Chairman of the Higher Education Committee in the State Legislature put into making sure that community colleges received any money at all. Previously, all the money was to go only to four year colleges and universities. Again, Three Rivers Community College and their lobbyist find a way to ignore and minimize the ever more irrelevant Kingery.

However, the political machine in Southeast Missouri did get a picture of Kingery with John Stanard on the front page of the Daily American Republic newspaper. Since Stanard is currently very unpopular for his ridiculous, pointless, and unnecessary published attack on the basketball coach at Three Rivers Community College, it is not clear if Kingery was pictured with Stanard to try to rehabilitate Stanard’s reputation or if Stanard was pictured to further tear down Kingery’s reputation.
