On that day, Richard received $1,000 from Isle of Capri, $1,000 from Pinnacle Entertainment, and $500 from Penn National Gaming.
Overall, the senator received $15,070 in contributions, including $1,000 apiece from Missouri Association of Rehab Facilities, Missouri Health Care Association, Missouri Independent Bankers Association, Travelers Indemnity Group, and Emerson's Missouri Responsible Government Fund.
Richard spent $42,438.21 during the last three months, according to the report, with the biggest expenditures being a $10,000 contribution to Dave Spence's campaign for governor, and $5,000 to the Republican Senate Campaign Committee.
Richard had $266,974.68 in his account as of March 31.
What's the difference between people like Senator Ron Richard in Joplin who has taken over $200,000 in campaign comtributions and this woman?

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A woman from Ash Grove pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday for stealing nearly $480,000 from her employer in Nixa in a fraud scheme. Carla Jean Wilson, 53, waived her right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Richard Dorr to a federal information that charges her with forging checks from her employer and with filing a false tax return.
Wilson, an accountant, was employed at Kitchenland USA as an office manager beginning in August 2004 until she was terminated on Sept. 20, 2010.
Not much difference from my viewpoint.
