Follow the money.

They should rent a blimp. It’d be so appropriate.

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission, from a campaign committee to a PAC:

C161187 04/29/2016 GREAT ST LOUIS Vote No on the E-Tax 308 E High Street Suite 301 Jefferson City MO 65101 4/28/2016 $668,337.43

Great. It’s a brand new PAC:

C161187: Great St Louis
Committee Type: Political Action
308 East High Street Suite 301
Jefferson City Mo 65101 Established Date: 04/20/2016
[….]

[emphasis added]

The old campaign committee:

C161039: Vote No On The E-Tax
Committee Type: Campaign
308 East High Street Suite 301
Jefferson City Mo 65101 Established Date: 02/18/2016
[….] Termination Date: 04/29/2016
[….]

Fancy that, they have the same address.

Where did they get their money?:
