Missouri’s senior GOP senator has signed deal to write book on religion, which has his main opponent asking him to pay $250,000 for Sunshine Law violations.

After Sherry Ross and her dad — innocent bystanders — were injured in a crash, they wanted the Independence Police Department to change their policy. When that didn’t happen, they sued.

The payment is related to Sunshine Law violations made by then-Attorney General Josh Hawley.

The payment was a response to a Cole County judge’s determination that Hawley violated the state’s Sunshine Law.

Missouri lawmakers are subject to the Sunshine Law. But a lawsuit alleges a House rule on records is unconstitutional.

Lawmakers adopted the rule after voters approved a constitutional amendment called Clean Missouri that made the General Assembly subject to the Missouri Sunshine Law.
