The standstill on other bills follows threats from Sen. Rob Schaaf to block
legislation until there’s debate on strengthening state ethics laws, although he
said he’d allow the budget to move forward.
The St. Joseph Republican is renewing calls for more transparency in donations
after a nonprofit pushing Republican Gov. Eric Greitens’ agenda launched attack
ads against Schaaf.
Currently, donors to the nonprofit A New Missouri can remain secret. Schaaf
wants to change that.
