Leading the opposition was Rep. Clint Zweifel, D-Florissant, who offered an amendment to remove all mention of the MOHELA sale, saying that the sale will be fiscally irresponsible.
"I don't think you've established that there's a real problem, but only taken a few high-profile examples," Rep. Clint Zweifel, D-St. Louis County, said to Cunningham. "It may give help to some folks, but problems to others, and that is now allowing for a free debate without being judged."
"This bill is an empty promise for every one of those under those (Medicaid) cuts," said Rep. Clint Zweifel, D-St. Louis County. "Everything we do has a cost."
After approval of Governor Blunt's proposed sale of MOHELA assets, Representative Clint Zweifel vows to petition moving decision to ballot in November of 2008.
