Missouri AG Says Laclede County Commission Followed Protocol

Recently, a complaint was filed against the Laclede County Commission’s handling of the recent surtax reduction proposition. The complaint accused the commission of violating the “Sunshine Law” which forces local, state, and federal government bodies to openly and only discuss issues in a public forum.  Tuesday morning, Presiding Commissioner Randy Angst read aloud the letter he received after an investigation from the Missouri Attorney General’s office.

Due to the number of meetings and discussions, the Attorney General ruled that the Commission followed protocol.

That Surtax Reduction Act did fail in November of 2022.
