This article reads like a campaign biography. Would someone familiar with Gov. Hearnes please inject some reality into it?TysK 07:21, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I have condensed the discussion of Hearnes time in office to a couple pargraphs, focusing on legislation passed while he was in office and measureable changes in state funding. Hopefully this is an improvement. I have also try to make the information flow more chronologically so that his activities before and after serving as Governor are more clearly defined. Hope this helps. TMS63112 22:40, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

I made the article "flow" a little better and eliminated a little of the unnecessarily elevated language, but the changes are a big improvement. I wonder about the statement that he was the first Missourian to serve in all 3 branches of government, though... isn't is possible there was some sec of state of lt gov or att gen or something who was a local judge and a state legislature member before his time in office in the 160 or so years of Mo. history before Hearnes? I'd like to see a source for that. TysK 05:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Add more information about Betty Hearnes -- since the two articles have been combined. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.183.66 (talk) 08:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
