Southwest Missouri senators lay off lobbyists' gifts in November

Documents posted a few moments ago on the Missouri Ethics Commission website indicate Southwest Missouri's five senators received only a combined $43.04 in lobbyists' gifts during November...with two, Jack Goodman, R-Mount Vernon, and Dan Clemens, R-Marshfield, not accepting any.
According to the documents, Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, had a $23 meal; Sen. Delbert Scott, R-Lowry City, a 10.50 meal; and Sen. Norma Champion, R-Springfield, a $9 meal.
For the year, Nodler still tops the senators from this corner of the state with $1,703.81, more than twice the amount of gifts he accepted in 2006, followed by Scott $1,128.35, Clemens $1,012.25, Goodman $626.20, and Ms. Champion $531.81.
