Looks like State Representative Martin Rucker (St. Joseph) had to be sued to get him to pay a medical bill---I guess he thought just because he was a State Representative he didn't have to pay his bills?
Rucker and his wife Lavell were sued in August of 2007, and it was settled out of court in June 2008. For someone who espouses fiscal responsiblity, and is pushing for TAX increases currently as a member of the St. Joseph school board this is an interesting revelation.
Well, at least we know why he is pushing for government-run healthcare as a member of the Missouri House---he wants YOU to pay for his medical bills, as he apparently does not want to ante up....
