JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The group fighting a ballot measure that would make
Missouri a right-to-work state has outraised its opponents by more than $4
million.
The fundraising totals, released this week by the Missouri Ethics Commission,
show a large financial advantage for We Are Missouri, a group opposed to banning
mandatory union fees in workplaces.
It has raised more than $5.4 million since the beginning of April, and still
has more than $3.7 million on hand, more than triple its opponents.
In contrast, the three groups campaigning in favor of right-to-work pulled in
more than $1.2 million, and have a little more than $1 million left for the
final three weeks of the campaign.
The election is Aug. 7th.
