THE MISSOURI GOP HOUSE SPEAKER'S EPIC LIQUOR STASH HAS BEEN EXPOSED & ATTACKED BY PROGRESSIVE BLOGGERS!!!

I guess they didn't get an invite to share in holiday cheer. 

And so . . .

Here's the basics of the story that has caused Democratic Party denizens to pout and realize that all of their year-end celebrations are "gender-neutral" and absolutely no fun . . .

House Speaker Dean Plocher took over that space and converted it into what has been jokingly referred to as his “butler’s pantry,” a makeshift storage room stocked with liquor, beer, wine and soda to complement the supply in his office.

The move was part of a $60,000 renovation of Plocher’s office in late 2022 and early 2023, paid for with public funds by the House. Half the costs stemmed from expenses resulting from repairs to walls, baseboards and ceilings in the speaker’s office.

The other half, according to records obtained by The Independent through Missouri’s Sunshine Law, went towards new furnishings — to the tune of about $29,000, including $8,600 for a black leather sofa and armchairs, $2,500 for a new walnut table, $2,500 for a refrigerator with an ice maker, $5,000 for a custom cabinet to hold the refrigerator and $385 for two walnut trash can bins.

Plocher did not answer specific questions about the office conversion. Instead, he released an emailed statement to The Independent defending the overall cost of the renovation.

Public records show the Missouri House spent $60,000 of taxpayer money renovating the speaker's office - including $29,000 on new furniture like a leather sofa and new fridge. At the same time, other legislative offices remain inaccessible to constituents with disabilities.
