Ethics complaint against Blunt forwarded to A.G.

The Missouri Ethics Commission has forwarded an ethics complaint against Governor Matt Blunt to the attorney general.
The decision was made at the Commission's July 21 meeting, according to information posted today on the Commission's website.
No specific information was given on the website about the nature of the complaint, which was filed by the Missouri Democratic Party, but the Democratic Party has issued a news release which says it involves the Blunt campaign's failure to report an "illegal in-kind contribution" of a tour bus by Mike Kehoe. Kehoe was recently appointed to the Missouri Highway Commission.
The Democratic Party news release notes that Blunt's campaign did pay Kehoe for the use of the bus...after the ethics complaint was filed, but still only paid a third of what the bus was worth.
