Republican Class Warfare

Spence Jackson, a spokesman for Gov.-elect Matt Blunt, said the executive branch's agenda was still being assembled. But Blunt has three priorities: reworking the formula for distributing state aid to schools, reorganizing state government, and improving the business climate by making it more difficult for people to sue for damages or for workers to claim they were injured on the job.

Why do we want a healthier business climate, anyhow? Is it to help consumers? Is it to help workers? Not in the Republican universe, apparently . . .
