Missouri’s House Speaker is now setting his sights on another higher office. Rep. Dean Plocher was running for Lt. Governor. Now he’s focusing on another statewide race … the Secretary of State’s seat. He made the announcement on KWOS’ Wake Up Mid – Missouri.
Plocher has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. He’s accused of filing false expense reports for travel and working to get the House to use a private contractor to work outside the normal bidding process. The Committee has met with Plocher and his lawyers several times.
