Senate Removes Disclosure Rule in Missouri Campaign Law
In Jefferson City the Missouri Senate approved amending the state campaign finance law to drop income disclosure provisions while planning early next week to address conflict of interest rules for lawmakers. Senator Waters proposed a compromise to model new income disclosure after governor and legislature rules, defining substantial interests at 10 percent ownership, $10,000 value, or $6,000 salary. Gov Bond and supporters want some economic disclosure kept, while critics call the move a copout. The 1974 law required reports from those spending or receiving more than $500 and all candidates to disclose income sources. court rulings upheld this interpretation amid ongoing debate.

Banker Seeks Supreme Court Review Over Campaign Fund Charge
Washington AP A Kansas City banker asks the Supreme Court to bar the government from prosecuting him for illegally contributing bank funds to Hubert Humphrey's 1968 campaign. Alexander J Barker, president of Civic Plaza National Bank, argues double jeopardy since he was acquitted of a misapplication of funds tied to the same transaction.
