Ruestman gives credit to fellow legislator

As regular readers of The Turner Report are aware, I have written numerous times about the penchant of Rep. Marilyn Ruestman, R-Joplin, to send out capitol reports under her name that apparently were penned by someone else.

In her latest column which ran last week in area newspapers, including the Neosho Daily News and Newton County News, Mrs. Ruestman ran a capitol report written by one of her colleagues. This time, however, there are no hints of plagiarism:

She begins the column:

"This week, I thought I'd share the Capitol Report of Rep. Joe Smith with you. He speaks about the Fair Tax and I concur with his assessment."

That wasn't that hard, was it?
