Gary Nodler received more gifts from lobbyists in June than four other southwest Missouri senators combined.
According to Missouri Ethics Commission documents posted earlier this morning, Nodler received $161.24 worth of gifts during the month, while senators Norma Champion, R-Springfield, Dan Clemons, R-Marshfield, Jack Goodman, R-Mount Vernon, and Delbert Scott, R-Lowry City, did not accept any gifts.
David Winton, representing his own lobbying firm, Penman & Winton, according to the documents, paid $141.24 for travel and lodging for Nodler on June 1, while Thomas Krewson, representing Comcast, bought Nodler a $20 Kansas City Royals ticket on June 14.
For the year, Clemons tops area senators with $977.25 in gifts, followed by Nodler $962.05, Goodman $509.58, Scott $352.25, and Mrs. Champion $253.06.
No big surprise here. I would imagine that he will continue to suck it in, special interest groups are, after all, his specialty.
