STATEMENT

 

RE: Ban on meals at committee hearings

 

“I wholeheartedly support the speaker’s decision to ban meals from being served at House committee hearings. The practice of lobbyists providing catered meals to committee members as they consider the fate legislation sought by those same lobbyists has long left a foul taste in the mouths of many Missourians, and action to eliminate it is as welcome as it is overdue. ”
