Agree about Parson, but at least he never implemented statewide lockdown and mask mandate. I did get tired of seeing him wander around in his mask and promoting the jab.
Not being a fighter in the DeSantis sense may have a benefit. I don't know how much Florida is targeted by the DS simply because DeSantis is seen as a threat, but I do know he never misses an opportunity to make a fiery public statement, which means he draws their attention to Florida. Parson's low profile has allowed Missouri to run under the radar, though some of that is also likely due to the fact that we're in the heart of flyover country, which from the DS perspective means we don't count anyway. What I do know for sure is that, aside from seeing about 20% of my very red, very rural county's population mask up during the worst of it, my life has so far been unaffected by the virus mess, and for that I'm grateful.
I live very close to Saint Louis. Some places mask.. very very rare. I think I’ve worn a mask twice this year.
Unfortunately my employer is requiring the vaccine. So up until two weeks ago the impact was minimal.
I actually emailed Parsons about this considering MO senators penned him a call for a special session to introduce legislation protecting employees from vax mandates that he has never responded to.. The response I got was that I should contact an attorney…
Well, that's weak. How about contacting the AG? He can't call a special session, but maybe he can shove his spine up Parson's ass and get something accomplished that way. Or maybe he can just do an AG thing, like he did about the mask mandates a few weeks ago.

True. I appreciate he’s conservative and allows counties to decide what they want to do. He’s just not a fighter like we see in a few other states.
Greitens may have some skeletons in his personal life closet, but I know now why they went after him. He would be on the desantis level.
