Group Urges Missouri Conflict of Interest Law Agenda
Gov. Joseph Teasdale was urged by Pat Minogue of Common Cause in Missouri to add a conflict of interest bill to the next week's special legislative session. She cites ex-House Speaker Richard Rabbitt's federal conviction and argues a law would deter impropriety and be in effect before the 1978 August primary. The House passed a strict bill earlier, but the Senate watered it down and a compromise failed.
