"An incoming Missouri senator, Republican David Gregory, already introduced a bill that would give residents of the state $1,000 a pop to turn in undocumented immigrants as part of a bounty program." This is grandstanding in a state that wants to cut taxes even though we have one of the lowest starting pay rates for teachers, and is fighting to get around the ballot initiatives that changed the state's rabid anti-abortion law and approved increasing the minimum wage and requiring sick pay for many businesses. We also stopped right-to-work, approved Medicaid expansion, and legalized medical and recreational marijuana with initiatives. This is what 20+ years of Republican rule get you - a lot of hate and very little legislation to improve the life of residents.
