Last month I ran a little item about the situation in Missouri, and since then it has expanded into a “he said—he said” mess of grand proportions.  Governor Matt Blunt has his hands full, as does MO’s Attorney General, Jay Nixon.  There are bunches more people involved, however, with lawsuits developing so quickly one would wonder if they’re (figuratively, of course) on steroids.  The Saint Louis Post-Dispatch has a very detailed report on the situation today.  Here’s the link and intro:

Lawsuit contends Blunt’s aides ordered staffers to break the law

Gov. Matt Blunt’s top aides ordered state employees to break the law by
destroying copies of government e-mails so they wouldn’t ever become public, a
lawsuit filed Monday charges.

The effort last fall failed, the suit says, because two supervisors in the
state Office of Administration refused the orders.

Peace.
