Metro Tax Campaign Using SEIU Phone Bank For Support

One of the advantages of sustained research time is being able to connect the dots between different organizations as they push issues onto the Missouri taxpayers.
The latest in scams is the Metro tax, which is yet another attempt to shuffle money to consultants and construction companies at the price of a sensible transportation policy.
I’ll let other people talk about the tax, but I want to draw your attention to the people that are pushing this tax.
Joe Keaveney – State Senator (tied at the hip to Wahby)
InsteadofWar – that’s right – the radical peace activist coalition that for someone reason thinks Metro tax money will help stop fighting, or something.
Sierra Club
MOPIRG
Jobs With Justice
Basically, every troll, goblin, newt, shrike, and mushroom cap leftist is on board, which can only mean they are getting paid, and are mobilizing because they know there’s taxpayer money for them.
We saw this in Jefferson County with the 911 Dispatch. SEIU members and Missouri ProVote were all over their elections, and sought to get council members elected who could shift taxpayer funds back to the progressive groups for activist campaigns.
And so now Jobs with Justice is asking for volunteers for their phone bank to try to drive attention to the Metro tax (which was defeated in November when it was half as much).
One has to ask why groups like InsteadofWar are supporting a Metro tax initiative. The ANSWER (pun slightly intended) is that these groups are getting money to push it.
The phone bank is run by SEIU MO/KS State Council, the political arm of SEIU. No doubt that the usual assorted groups of leftwing losers are seeking to make a little scratch, and a reward for sucking up to the county is cash donations. Sadly, much of the money trail is going to be hidden – we won’t be able to tell who is giving money and who is taking it, but we can be assured that if there is a phone bank, ACORN, SEIU, Missouri ProVote, JobsWithJustice, and the like are getting paid to push the tax. This is how the siphoned off funds in Jefferson County. The same cast of characters is at it again, seeking to add hundreds of millions of dollars to the budgets of politicians.
