LETTERS: THANK GOODNESS KINDER STOOD UP TO THE GOVERNOR

To the editor:

I see that the unions are critical of state Sen. Peter Kinder for expressing his opinion of forced payment of union dues. However, these same people had no problem promoting their side of the issue on government time. I am a victim of the mismanagement and misrepresentation of the St. Louis Teachers Union and am thankful that someone has the courage to question Gov. Bob Holden's dictatorial executive order.
