Fact: House Speaker Jetton has used his position as an elected official for profit raking in thousands of dollars as a "political consultant" while cutting medical benefits to thousands of Missourians. The December 31'st, 2007 St. Louis Post-Dispatch carried a story that revealed House Speaker Jetton "is earning $6,000 a month on the payroll of GOP candidate Mitt Romney - juggling his work for the former Massachusetts governor with his duties as the GOP leader in the House. When asked about working for Romney, Jetton responded by stating, "I wish it were more money."
On July 10th, 2008 Tony Messenger reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that:
While in an article entitled "The sad legacy of the Jetton era," published on May 18th, 2008 states that:"Jetton's consulting business, Common Sense Conservative Consulting LLC, has signed up several lawmakers as clients: Sen. Jason Crowell, Sen. Luann Ridgeway, Sen. Robert Mayer and state Rep. Bob Onder, who is running for Congress. All of Jetton's clients are Republicans."
"The subject of health care brought out the worst in Mr. Jetton's muscle-bound philosophy that only the strong deserve to survive. In 2005, he teamed with Mr. Blunt to pass a bill that cut more than 100,000 people off Medicaid and slashed benefits for about 300,000 others. No longer would they be provided with such "optional" products as wheelchair batteries, breathing tubes and crutches.""Keeney said she has been a political supporter of Jetton since she began volunteering at his annual skeet shoot when he was a member of the Bollinger County Commission" – Rudy Keller, Southeast Missourian October 9th, 2008
