Sinquefield's Teach Great group gives $225,000 to Grow Missouri

Teach Great, the Rex Sinquefield backed group that put Amendment 3 on the ballot, then suddenly abandoned it, has given $225,000 to another Sinquefield group, Grow Missouri, according to a 48-hour report filed Thursday with the Missouri Ethics Commission.

Grow Missouri, which has pushed Sinquefield's goal of eliminating the income tax and placing our bets on an increased sales tax, reported contributing $5,500 to Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, the number two man in the Missouri Senate, and $30,500 to Senate President Pro Tem Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles.
