“Since the release of yesterday’s Workplace Harassment Report, new information has come to light which bears further investigation by the Senate. Under the Senate Rules, I am referring these allegations to the Senate Rules and Ethics Committee for deliberation, investigation, and recommendations to the full Senate on this matter.
The Missouri Senate takes very seriously matters involving the public trust. To make sure that we have a fair and full investigation of allegations which have now surfaced, I have asked and Minority Floor Leader Sen. Joe Keaveny, D-St. Louis, has agreed to remove Sen. Paul LeVota, D-Independence, from the Rules and Ethics Committee.”
Senate Leader Tom Dempsey, R-St. Charles
