@eyokley @GovJayNixon @MoDOT Not his. He appoints members of commission, who can go off script and do. Other Govs have had tighter reins.

@ScottCharton@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT Guv gonna get nastygrams from the NEMO/Western Illinois highway zealots.#roadsbitchesroads -
@QuincyBob@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT The Oakley Axis. -
@ScottCharton@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT Oakley-Boland Axis, to be precise.#tomsquared -
@QuincyBob@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT Those two support pouring concrete to cover the entire Mississippi River with 14 traffic lanes. -
@ScottCharton@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT I always say they want 8 lanes going 8 different directions from the Hannibal/Quincy Metroplex.

@eyokley@GovJayNixon@MoDOT The governor doesn't run his admin. departments. He has said so clearly in the past (Eco Devo). - 2 more replies

@eyokley@GovJayNixon much like DESE, MoDOT is run by an appointed board. Governor really doesn't direct control over it. -
@jrosenbaum@eyokley@GovJayNixon Not always; Gov Mel Carnahan and his MHC Chair Lee Kling dumped Ashcroft's 15-yr road plan. Sheer power. -
@ScottCharton@eyokley@GovJayNixon right. I was trying to differentiate between "direct" control (like Dept. of Revenue) and indirect. -
@jrosenbaum@eyokley@GovJayNixon In the end, does it matter? -
@ScottCharton@eyokley@GovJayNixon if the governor doesn't try to influence the appointed board to do anything, I would say so. -
@jrosenbaum@ScottCharton@eyokley That raises the question -- will@GovJayNixon try to influence MHTC? They're onboard w/ .75% tax now. -
@MarshallGReport@jrosenbaum@eyokley@GovJayNixon State agencies have caught heat for taking sides on ballot issues.#InformationalPurposes
