Letter to the Editor: Democratic Party an unreliable source

I was taken aback when I read the article “FBI probe targets governor” in the May 1 issue. … Oddly, the primary source for the Business Journal’s story is a paid operative for the Missouri Democratic Party. Despite the claims from this unreliable source, no federal, state or local officials have contacted this office or any current license office operator about Gov. Blunt’s improvements to the offices, which have saved taxpayers more than $7.2 million.

The Business Journal also did their readers a disservice by failing to properly contrast the way license offices have been managed under the Blunt administration with the way they were managed during the Carnahan and Holden years.

Gov. Blunt remains firmly committed to honoring his promises to make education the state’s top priority, to craft a state budget that lives within taxpayers’ means, and to help stimulate our state’s economy.
