Missouri lawmakers hold closed-door meeting amid speaker controversy

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A group of Missouri lawmakers met Friday for hours behind closed doors to discuss a personnel issue.

That closed-door meeting lasted for more than four hours in the basement of the Capitol. There’s no confirmation about who or what the group was talking about; other than it was regarding a personnel inquiry, but this all comes as other lawmakers are calling on House Speaker Dean Plocher, R-Des Peres to resign.

“That’s all I can say, I have no further comment,” chairman of the House Ethics Committee Rep. Hannah Kelly, R-Moutain Grove said to reporters Friday afternoon.
