Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, received more lobbyists' gifts than any Republican senator during the final month of the legislative session, according to documents posted moments ago on the Missouri Ethics Commission website.
Richard received $473.10 in gifts, trailing only Democrats Shalonn Curls of St. Louis, who left everyone in the dust with $887.16, and Tim Green, Florissant, who received $598.21.
Richard's total included a $179.53 meal from lobbyist Chris Liese, representing Missouri Finance Institue, on May 4, and a $162.25 meal from Liese, this time representing the Missouri Association of Insurance Agents, on May 12.
For the year, Richard has received $1,917.37 worth of lobbyists' gifts.
