Just when you think you've seen everything 2020 has to offer...
An ousted "journalist" pens an article about "winners" of the 2020 Missouri Legislative Session. It's all about corporate lobbyists "winning" in their interference between the Missouri people and their elected representatives. Corporate money may be "free speech," but it cannot yet cast a vote. Seems like elected officials swayed by the smell of corporate money need to take a lesson at the next election.

The team lobbying for Grain Belt Express – Led by Nexus Nexus with Rodney Boyd, Kate Casas, and Brian Grace, along with Aaron Baker and Hannah Beers with Clout, the group put together a team early on in session that looked like there was little chance to succeed. It was rocky at the end, but they fought off what is almost certain to be the largest challenge to the project.
And who paid these "winners" for their time and effort? Invenergy, a corporation based in Chicago. So, what an out-of-state corporation wants to happen in Missouri is more important than what the people of Missouri want to have happen? Missouri got bought by a Chicago corporation. The legislators who did their bidding need to be replaced by legislators who want to work for the people they represent (Missourians! Not Chicago corporations!)
There was "little chance to succeed," but after a nice, long Coronacation, things mysteriously changed. I wonder how much that cost? I guess we'll find out when the campaign finance reports get published.
So, if Invenergy was the "winner," who's the loser? The people of Missouri.
The largest challenge to the project? Scottie, you ain't seen nothing yet!
