Contributors pay Ruestman's NRA dues
It shouldn't surprise anyone that Rep. Marilyn Ruestman, the Joplin Republican who sponsored the frontier justice bill recently passed by the House, is a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association.
According to the April quarterly campaign disclosure report filed earlier this week with the Missouri Ethics Commission, Ms. Ruestman's $35 one-year membership was paid for by Citizens for Ruestman.
The expenditure was part of $4,931.94 spent by the Ruestman campaign during the past three months. No contributions were reported, leaving the campaign with $50,624.12.
Among the expenditures listed were: $101.40 for a subscription to the Neosho Daily News, $300 for contract labor to Dustin Storm, Webb City; $204.27 to the Department of Natural Resources for advertising, $1,500 tot he 131st Legislative District Committee, $1,500 to the 127th District Legislative Committee; and $475 to the 129th District Legislative Committee (the committee expenditures were listed as reimbursements) and $548.57 to Dell Financial Services, Austin, Texas, for a new computer.
