Gov. Nixon issues statement on Supreme Court ruling on ethics law
Feb. 14, 2012
Gov. Jay Nixon today released the following statement regarding the ruling by the Missouri Supreme Court on Senate Bill 844:
“Senate Bill 844 cleaned up Missouri’s political party committees, expanded contribution reporting requirements, and took numerous other steps to make government operate in a more open and accountable way. Today’s ruling leaves a significant hole in Missouri’s ethics laws, and the General Assembly must move quickly to get a strong ethics bill on my desk. In the coming days, I will communicate with the General Assembly about the key components that should be in a strong ethics bill, and we must come together to get these vital laws back on the books.”
