Former Isle of Capri lobbyist Lynne Schlosser parted ways with her former employer Monday, according to Missouri Ethics Commission documents, after encouraging Sen. Jeff Smith, D-St. Louis, to attempt to illegally gamble using someone else's identification.
Ignoring so-called "minor" laws has been something that Ms. Schlosser has done frequently over the years, according to court documents. She is cited 24 times in court records available on Missouri's case.net system. She has been a frequent target of Missouri Capital Police for her habit of parking in no-parking zones. She has been ticketed seven times on that offense, and paid $5 fines each time.
On two occasions, according to the court records, Ms. Schlosser pleaded guilty to speeding charges, once in July 1995 for a July 1993 violation, and the other time on Aug. 9, 2002, for going more than 20 miles over the speed limit. She pleaded guilty in November 2002.
Another favorite misdemeanor for Ms. Schlosser has been failure to register her motor vehicle. Court documents indicate she has pleaded guilty to that charge four times, the first in Calloway County in 1993, the latest in 2002 in Cole County.
On two occasions, most recently in 2006, Ms. Schlosser was hit with default judgments after she was sued for failing to pay filing fees by the Missouri Ethics Commission and failed to show for the court dates. On Aug. 8, 2006, the court rendered a default judgment for $20 against Ms. Schlosser, which she did not pay until March 13, 2007, according to court records.
In 2005, she was ordered to pay $10, which she paid four months later.
According to Ethics Commission documents, Ms. Schlosser is registered to lobby for Governmental Services Group, Boys and Girls Clubs Alliance, Fred Dreiling & Associates, I4Learning, and Institute for America's Health.
Please take the American Cancer Society off the list of Ms. Schlosser's clients. She hasn't worked for American Cancer Society for 2 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing that out. I have made the correction. She has not been a registered lobbyist for the American Cancer Society since 2005.
ReplyDeleteSuggesting Sen. Smith use an ID not his own was a serious and costly lapse of judgement for Ms. Schlosser. However to report on each of her past transgressions is a bit over the top. She she has some speeding and parking tickets, who cares?
ReplyDeleteObviously, the parking, speeding, and failure to register violations are not major in themselves, and neither is Ms. Schlosser's seeming inability to fulfill her Ethics Commission requirements in a timely fashion, but put them all together, then add the casino incident, and you appear to have a pattern indicating that this is a woman who doesn't see any reason to abide by so-called "minor" rules and regulations. And that can lead to trouble.
ReplyDeleteDon't most people keep their ID with their money? If he didn't have his ID, where did he get the money to gamble?
ReplyDeletewho cares?
ReplyDeleteDumbest story ever! Guess the Turner report can't find any real news to report so they are attacking a good persons character. No wonder nobody uses the Turner report as a real news source.
