New Western District Rumors
Submitted by .Sean on January 21, 2010 - 12:40pm
The word out of Jefferson City today is that a federal grand jury in the Western District is actively looking at pay-to-play allegations pertaining to a 2005 bill to crack down on the adult entertainment industry.
Current and former officials have apparently been asked to speak to the grand jury in early February.
The adult entertainment legislation at the center of the rumors has long been a point of controversy, and was specifically cited in a Star article just last month as an example of allegedly corrupt behavior in the Capitol. Previous Fired Up! coverage of the legislation may be found here.
Talk of grand jury action is squishy by nature, but we'll post any updates or related information as it's available.
