Speaker Cole Averts Tempest In Missouri House Fight
Speaker Cole dodges a confrontation as Representative Leonard of Springfield forgoes a personal privilege speech tied to Gethro’s confession about corporate influence at the State House. Leonard, once allied with Walker in the speakership fight, says relations with Cole are friendly. The House remains under tight control as an attempted reopening of the investigation is not pursued and Gethro’s potential gallery appearance is curtailed. Remington, the sergeant at arms, was instructed to arrest any disturbance.
