Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission for an initiative campaign promoting campaign finance limits:

41592 08/24/2015 RETURNING GOVERNMENT TO THE PEOPLE Fred N Sauer 454 Hammersmith Road St Louis MO 63141 Orion Investment Company 8/21/2015 $40,000.00

[emphasis added]

That’s a total of $170,000.00 from one individual since July. Think about that for a minute.
