JEFFERSON CITY - Jay Nixon and his fellow Democrats’ penchant for snubbing their noses at Missouri taxpayers was on display recently when Saline County taxpayers paid to have tickets for a Nixon fundraiser sold out of the county clerk’s office.

In advance of a February 23 Democrat Party event, the Marshall Democrat-News reported that $25 tickets were “also available at the Saline County Clerk’s Office. Proceeds from dinner ticket sales will benefit the Nixon for Governor Campaign.”

“It is incredibly disrespectful to Missourians that Jay Nixon and his fellow Democrats would allow a taxpayer financed building to be used on taxpayer-financed time by taxpayer-financed employees to conduct fundraising activities,” said Paul Sloca, communications director for the Missouri Republican Party. “This type of disregard should be unacceptable, but is commonplace for the likes of Nixon who spent years illegally using his state vehicle and staff.”
