This new St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial is excellent, and right on target. Helping the poor and working poor is not a priority for Missouri’s lawmakers, including its Democratic governor and its Republican Legislature, even when the money is there to do so. The bollixed-up social services department is an arm of Gov. Jay Nixon’s executive branch. Were any other executive department so bollixed up, lawmakers would have pounced gleefully on the problems. Imagine the outcry if the departments of Agriculture or Economic Development were leaving farmers and developers in the lurch. Social services? Well, too bad. Legislators and elected officials who don’t make poor kids and their working parents a priority ought to be ashamed. Heads need to roll. stltoday/news/opinion/editorial-bureaucratic-chaos-is-choking-off-help-to-needy-kids/article_808ba477-9008-5105-97a5-387957f95971.html
