Great 'Pastabilities': Burns Hosts Brunch in the 85th

State Representative Candidate Bob Burns hosted an excellent brunch at the Pasta House in South County this morning. Burns, a former member of the Affton School Board, welcomed a number of elected officials to the breakfast including Alderman Mike McMillan, Aldermanic President Jim Shrewsbury and State Representative Jeff Roorda.

In brief remarks, Mr. Burns highlighted his differences with both the Blunt Administration and his Republican opponent over issues like Medicaid and Head Start. He pointed out that cuts to Medicare and Head Start have negatively impacted Missourians, not only in the 85th District, but throughout the state.

The candidate also drew a laugh when he suggested that he has been taught to listen to people by Mrs. Burns, his wife of many years, and assured attendees that he would listen carefully to voters- even when he disagreed with their opinions.

The Pasta House, of course, was provided by Mr. Tucci and was tended by an excellent restaurant staff. Thanks to all those at the Pasta House for a great brunch.
