Top lobbyist delivers $6,000 in contributions to Richard

Though he has no opposition for re-election, Speaker-of-the-House-in-waiting Ron Richard, R-Joplin, continues to pile up the money.

A 24-hour report filed today with the Missouri Ethics Commission shows Richard picked up three identical $2,000 contributions from clients of the powerful Gamble & Schlemeier lobbying firm.

The checks were received today from Union Pacific Railroad (Gamble & Schlemeier represents the Missouri Railroad Association) Altria Client Services, Richmond, Va., and APS Healthcare, Windsor Hill, Md., according to the Ethics Commission documents.

Gamble and Schlemeier's long list of clients includes Ameristar Casinos, Missouri Healthcare Association, and Ameren UE.
