Governor Parson Formally Rebukes Secretary of State’s Inaction and Refusal to Protect Missouri Children
AUGUST 22, 2024

Jefferson City — Yesterday, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft refused to sign off on the emergency rulemaking process associated with Governor Mike Parson’s Executive Order 24-10, prohibiting the sale of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products. After Secretary Ashcroft chose to sit idly by and not protect Missouri children from harmful cannabis infused products, Governor Parson penned a letter [….] to express his deep dissatisfaction and provide a formal rebuke.

“Without question, our office and hundreds of thousands of parents and grandparents across the state view the matter of protecting Missouri children as an emergency in need of immediate action,” Governor Parson said. “By refusing to grant emergency rules to ban the sale of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products, especially to children, Secretary Ashcroft is choosing personal vendetta and unregulated, dangerous products over the health and safety of Missouri kids.”

[….]

A letter, harshly worded. Why are we not surprised?

Heh. Just asking.

Last year:

Pro-Parson PAC has spent $110K on private plane expenses so far in 2023
BY: JASON HANCOCK – APRIL 18, 2023 6:15 AM

Mike Parson has made it clear to anyone who will listen that he’s done with elected office when term limits force him from the Missouri governor’s mansion next year.

Yet the political action committee created by his supporters continues taking five-figure checks, with the lion’s share of that money spent on private plane travel.
[….]

In January at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

What on Earth for?
