Sen. Blunt completes visits to all Mo. counties

Friday, April 13, 2012

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt says he has completed one of his goals as Missouri’s newest senator — to visit every county in the state.

Blunt, a Republican, took office in January 2011 after winning an election to succeed retired Sen. Kit Bond. Blunt said it took him about 15 months to complete his official visits to all 114 counties and the city of St. Louis. He finished the last of those events this week.

This marks the second time Blunt has made the rounds of every Missouri county. He did the same thing while campaigning for the Senate.

Here is what I remember of Blunt... He cut a lot of jobs on the state level... then he gave $5+ million to oil companies. He did this saying that the oil company needs to have incentives to search for oil. I can't wait to see this guy go. Good bye and good riddance.

We should not give ANY tax money to oil companies, they make billions on their own.

I don't care where he goes or what he does. I just don't want it to be on the tax payer's dime anymore. This is a prime example of why normal citizens do not trust our representatives anymore. They stopped representing!
