Sinquefield may be the most politically influential person in MO politics. Deep pockets!!
Maybe 15-20 years ago, the MO legislature was attempting to take over the teacher's pension, led by a Sinquefield coalition including, at that time, State Rep Jason Smith. I sent Smith an email that read "KEEP YOUR HAND'S OFF OUR TEACHER'S PENSION". He replied with a real smart ass email, telling me "you don't know what you're talking about", "you're not smart enough to be a teacher", ....just an unbelievable insulting reply.
First, I forwarded his email to the entire school district telling everyone how our state rep replied to me!!
🤣🤣
Then, I replied to Smith, told him I had forwarded his unprofessional and inappropriate email to the entire school district. Then I told him I was 6'5" 260 and he wouldn't have the balls to say that to my face, and told him I'd be willing to meet him in a parking lot somewhere and talk about it man to man.
He replied "Are you threatening me? That could be taken as a threat" and threatened to call the police. And he did some backpedaling about not meaning to insult all teachers.
I replied "I know exactly what I said, and I did not make a physical threat. You are just like the school yard bully, tough guy who runs his mouth, talks real tough, and blatantly insults, and when somebody calls you out, you run to the teacher crying "he's picking on me". What a pussy!!"
Never heard from Jason again.
