MO: Republican who led inquiry of Dean Plocher (R) may be subject of new ethics complaint
Days after ending an investigation into Missouri House Speaker Dean Plocher, the Republican who led that inquiry has recused herself from the committee as it prepares to discuss a new complaint.
According to a letter to legislative staff from House Speaker Pro Tem Mike Henderson, a member of Plocher’s leadership team, state Rep. Hannah Kelly requested she be temporarily removed from the ethics committee as it looks into a new complaint filed Wednesday.
Although the complaint itself, as well as who filed it, are confidential under House rules, Kelly’s decision to step away from the committee is an indication she may be the subject.
Kelly declined comment Thursday morning.
