Missourians for Fair Democracy

Welcome to Missourians for Fair Democracy, a non-partisan reform group dedicated to better government in Missouri MFD's major issue right now is a change in state law to grant more local control over county government. Did you know that in non-charter counties, when several offices, such as county commissioner and prosecuting attorney, are vacant, the governor appoints someone to fill the vacancy? We here at MFD think this does not reflect the spirit of democracy. Missourians should be able to fill these vacancies at special elections, rather than having one official in Jefferson City decide. That is why MFD supports a bill or ballot initiative-- whichever gets it done--to change this. In keeping with MFD's non-partisan spirit, we propose that the change take effect in 2009, after the next gubernatorial election, so that it is clear this reform is in no way based on one-sided political maneuvering.
