Matt Blunt Empowers Citizens

Missouri Governor Matt Blunt apparently didn't get the memo leaked to his detractors which outlines how he's supposed to run the state of Missouri for and by corporations against the interests of the citizens. Otherwise, he'd not ask citizens to speak about the state of the state government:

Area residents are invited to speak their minds about state government next month during a local hearing before the Missouri State Government Review Commission.

Gov. Matt Blunt established the group to recommend changes for the first planned overhaul of the executive branch in more than 30 years.

Special interest groups and heads of state departments have had their opportunity to share ideas during hearings at the Capitol.

Undoubtedly, opponents will characterize this as a cosmetic move designed to bolster his sagging poll numbers, but we here at DMB2008 believe it represents a plot on the trendline that indicates that Matt Blunt governs for the citizens of the state, not for the government bureaucrats and organized interests that normally influence governance.

If only the federal government had a man like Matt Blunt at its helm. Hey, what about 2008?
