Response to John Brunner’s Continued Disregard For Missouri’s Farmers

St. Louis, MO – Today, Attorney General Chris Koster released the following statement in response to John Brunner’s continued disregard for Missouri’s farmers and the other GOP candidates’ silence on the important role biofuels and the renewable fuel standard play in our state’s economy:

“John Brunner is flat wrong when he claims supporting Missouri’s farm families is “crony capitalism.” His position shows a surprising disregard for the important role biofuels play in our state’s economy. But at least farmers across Missouri now know where John Brunner stands, and they know where I stand. Farmers deserve to know where Brunner’s fellow Republicans stand on government support for renewable fuels.”
