Wheeler: "I like Gov. Blunt very much"
As promised, Sen. Charles Wheeler, Democratic candidate for Jaco Exec, appeared at a bill-signing Wednesday with Gov. Matt Blunt. It took place at Children's Mercy Hospital.
It was a pretty bi-partisan affair. The two were joined by a handful of other legislators, Republicans and Democrats, and Mayor Kay Barnes.
The bills included measures that raise the required age for child safety seats (from 4 to 8); establish a Missouri-side mass transit district; and allow 16-year-olds to donate blood (Wheeler's bill).
But if Wheeler was afraid, just a few weeks before primary election day, of a link with Matt Blunt, he didn't show it.
"I like Gov. Blunt very much," Wheeler told KC Buzz Blog. "I think he's getting better all the time."
