Newly-minted Democrat accepts nearly $900 in gifts from Trial Attorneys' lobbyist


Chris Koster, the leading fundraiser in the race to replace Jay Nixon as Missouri's attorney general, accepted $891.23 in gifts from the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys over a three-day period in June, according to documents just posted on the Missouri Ethics Commission website.
Koster has received $1,993.96 in lobbyists' gifts during the first six months of 2007.
The gifts from Trial Attorneys lobbyist and executive director Sara Schuett came June 22-24, according to the documents. On June 22, he received "meals, food, and beverage" worth $117.53, followed by $298.70 for two nights' lodging on June 23, and $475 for "continuing education credits" on June 24.
Koster also received a $69.68 meal from Rodney Boyd, lobbyist for Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal on June 13, increasing his month's total to $959.91.
The Harrisonville senator is expected to announce today that he is leaving the Republican party and becoming a Democrat.

I am just wondering if a person leaves a comment on a blog, is it possible to discover the person's identity?
