JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – For the second time this week, a group of lawmakers met behind closed doors for hours to discuss an ethics complaint.
This is the first time the committee has been publicly linked to Rep. Dean Plocher.
While it’s unclear what the focus of the investigation is, lawmakers could also be focusing on when Plocher fired his Chief of Staff last year, which was around the same time the House was discussing contracts and bids for a new software company.
The Ethics Committee plans to meet again, but there is no set date yet.
