MEC send Blunt Complaint to MO Attorney General (Nixon)!!!

[usregimechange]

According to a news release from the Missouri Democratic Party, the
Missouri Ethics Commission announced today that they have referred a
complaint filed against Gov. Matt Blunt for violating Missouri's
campaign finance laws to the Attorney General's office. This is
believed to be the first time since the Ethics Commission was formed
in 1993 that they have found probable cause to refer an ethics
complaint against a sitting governor to a prosecutor.

The complaint, which was filed by the Missouri Democratic Party,
charges that Matt Blunt failed to report an illegal in-kind
contribution of a tour bus to his gubernatorial campaign by Mike
Kehoe, who he recently appointed to the Highway Commission. Only
after the ethics complaint was filed did Blunt's campaign pay Kehoe
for use of the tour bus. However, even then the campaign only paid a
third of the bus's fair market value, again constituting an illegal
in-kind contribution well above the legal limit.

"It's fitting that on the very day the Ethics Commission announces
they have found probable cause to refer an ethics complaint against
Matt Blunt for prosecution, that Gov. Blunt and his chief of staff
are in Sun Valley, Idaho thanking political contributors," said
Missouri Democratic Party spokesman Jack Cardetti. "Clearly this is
an administration that shows little regard for ethical guidelines
and acts as if they are above the law."
