In response to our article, we received the following canned response from Senator McCaskill: Thank you for your interest in my Kitchen Table Talk held at Joplin earlier this month. I'm happy to have had the opportunity to listen to everyone's concerns. It was important to me to hear the very spirited discussions at our talk and understand the concerns about our nation's efforts to stabilize the economy and create jobs. I welcomed the chance to respond to your questions. My staff and I will continue to hold these kinds of meetings throughout the state so Missourians can share their thoughts and ideas and hear about the current solutions underway. I want to know what's on your mind, so please feel free to contact me via web-form at my website: www.mccaskill.senate.gov/contact or visit any of my offices. Missouri's needs and priorities are foremost in my mind.
