campaign finance, initiative, missouri, Missouri Ethics Commission, PAC, right to get paid less, Right to work

Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission in support of right to get paid less:

C180291 05/18/2018 Missourians For Freedom To Work Greg Hoberock 500 Braeburn Ct Washington MO 63090 HTH Companies Inc CEO 5/18/2018 $100,000.00

[emphasis added]

It’s a new PAC, supporting right to get paid less and opposed to the CLEAN Missouri initiative on campaign finance, lobbying and redistricting reform.

C180291: Missourians For Freedom To Work
Committee Type: Campaign
239 Rock Industrial Blvd Suite 108
Union Mo 63084
Established Date: 04/18/2018
[….]
Treasurer
Greg Hoberock
239 Rock Industrial Blvd Suite 108
Union Mo 63084
[….]

Not to be confused with Freedom to Work. Having a lot of money is something they have in common, though.

Why is it corporate CEOs and not working people who write those $100,000.00 checks? Oh, right, because they can.

Campaign Finance: heartwarming
