Politicians in MO are typically Republican and talk about deregulation, a hands off approach to business. But in the latest example of hypocrisy some state politicians are "pressuring" Tyson foods on a plant closing. Instead of simply closing the plant, like Tyson wants to do, the politicians are pushing Tyson to sell it.
Previous to this stunt a few years back the state held an election wherein voters statewide decided to increase animal protections. However after the "election" the state legislature thought they knew best and the citizens were stupid so the legislature overturned the election results and allowed continued abuse of animals in the state.
