JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A statewide tax reform tour by Gov. Eric Greitens scheduled for the week of January 15, including stops in Poplar Bluff, Macon, and St. Peters is experiencing a cancelation after KMOV broke a story that Gov. Greitens had engaged in an extra-marital affair.
The stop at Briggs and Stratton in Poplar Bluff has been canceled. An event organizer for the stop in Poplar Bluff said the facility decided to not host the event due to “bad timing.”
The Eventbrite for the event has been closed. Seven Eventbrite invitations organized by “Governor Eric Greitens” remain open as of 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.
