Little did I know that the interview I conducted with Sen. Wes Shoemyer (D-Clarence) would foreshadow the bulk of his arguments fueling his ongoing debate against Sen. Brad Lager (R-Savannah) concerning a doubling of funds for a land assemblage project in North St. Louis. Somehow this was tied into the Economic Development bill during the five-hour recess tonight that was hammered out in conference.
On several occasions Shoemyer has referenced Lager's support for the extra $10 million to a mention in a recent Post-Dispatch article, blasting Lager for siding with this project as opposed to farmers in his district.
Looks like we have a real battle of the Hickory Stick brewing between the two. Shoemyer is making firm his commitment to his roots and his constituents' livelihoods. Lager wants to get the bill passed. The clock sits at 14½ hours. We just might have a front runner for Mr. September.
