You Wanna Campaign, You Pay For It

May 29, 2023

 

When he was running for Senate, Missouri’s attorney general pandered to the far-right base and tried to bully school systems into not having mask mandates, intimating that mandates were illegal, and that school systems would be prosecuted. When several of them filed suit, he backed down. One school system kept up the fight, though, and won, on the grounds that the AG didn’t have the authority to make such rules.

 

Since the AG was doing it for his campaign, I think his campaign, and not the school system or the state, should have to pick up the legal fees for both sides.
