JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A group of lawmakers met behind closed doors for hours late Monday afternoon to discuss an ethics complaint.
This is the fourth time the House Ethics Committee, made up of 10 representatives, has met for an extended period of time behind closed doors since the end of October. Members were discussing an alleged ethics complaint regarding House Speaker Dean Plocher, R-Des Peres. With the legislative session in full swing, representatives gave no indication of when the investigation would conclude but remained tight-lipped about the situation.
“I cannot answer any further except to say we worked very hard today to make sure that we have sound information gathering for the work at hand to address the complaint referenced in the committee notice,” Rep. Hannah Kelly, R-Mountain Grove, said. “The focus is to make sure that the ethics and the integrity of the Missouri House of Representatives is upheld.”
