Eric Schmitt

Eric Schmitt has refused to drop three of his 47 lawsuits against school districts, while the Lee’s Summit district filed a counterclaim against the attorney general.

Appropriations Vice Chairman Lincoln Hough says he’s upset that Attorney General Eric Schmitt "continues to sue most of the citizens of this state." Since November, Schmitt has sued at least 45 school districts over their local health orders.

The former state senator from St. Louis County also gave his take on the impasse over redistricting and the potential 2024 governor’s contest between Mike Kehoe and Jay Ashcroft.

Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz provided his campaign with $1 million, while several PACs are helping candidates have plenty of money to use before Aug. 2.

Just days after a judge dismissed similar charges, Eric Schmitt is pursuing a criminal case against three men involved in the fatal sinking of a Ride the Ducks boat on Table Rock Lake in 2018.

At least 27 staffers for then-Gov. Eric Greitens used the app Confide, which shielded their communications from public view.

For more than three years, Missouri officials have been finding, tracking and testing the state's backlog of thousands of unaccounted-for kits, which are used to identify rapists and people who commit sexual assault. The Attorney General's office announced Monday that the state has sent 3,298 kits to labs for DNA testing.

Complainants are left with few options, with the attorney general’s office instructing them to “contact a private attorney” if they wish to pursue the matter further.

If schools refused to certify their district had complied with Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s demands to drop any and all COVID-19 restrictions, thousands in savings to taxpayers were at risk. In the nearly three months since the state required the certification form, 21 districts signed and seven refused.

On the Democratic side, Marine veteran Lucas Kunce, former state Sen. Scott Sifton and businessman Spencer Toder filed for the Senate seat of the retiring Roy Blunt on Tuesday.
