Non Partisan, my *** UPDATE

 By Gretchen Garrity

United Springfield PAC has endorsed their candidates, according to the Springfield News-leader. And as I said here* their choice was not going to be anything other than the status quo, which is doing such a stellar job. 😬

United Springfield was formed to keep the school system under the thumb of progressive Uniparty members and local power structures, and tied to groups like the Missouri School Boards Association (MSBA). According to the Springfield News-leader, their candidates are:

1) Scott Crise (Incumbent and previously endorsed by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce)

2) Danielle Kincaid (Incumbent and previously endorsed by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce)

3) Susan Provance (A self-described team player)

Background here.

Where's the money coming from? The Springfield Daily Citizen shares that here, and just to show you how partisan are these people who claim they are nonpartisan, according to the link, "People who donated $5,000 each include former Springfield Mayor Tom Carlson, who is also the publisher and chairman of the board of directors for the Springfield Daily Citizen." Now, just read that article again knowing that the former mayor and current publisher of the paper is giving money to a PAC that has just endorsed the preferred status quo of the "long-time leaders" in Springfield.

More on donations here.

Does anyone, anyone believe today that the press is nonpartisan? To quote George Carlin, "It's a big club and you ain't in it."

The narrative is playing out just as noted. It's a dirty business trying to keep the status quo going when one's school district is failing on so many levels.

UPDATE: Chuck Hatfield, the MSBA lawyer who started the United Springfield PAC weighs in on the ruckus in the Missouri Senate today when Sen. Caleb Rowden foolishly removed several of the Freedom Caucus senators from their committees, and even took their parking spaces.

What a nice fellow, eh?

*"If Provance tows the line, if she speaks only positivity, rainbows, and unicorns to voters, she will undoubtedly earn the endorsement of the United Springfield PAC."
