Via Tony Messenger at P-D’s Political Fix, Republican AG candidate Michael Gibbons will sign HB 2224 tomorrow flanked by police officers. HB 2224 is a bill that creates funding for pay raises for deputy sheriffs. Nevermind that as Senate President Pro Tem, he already signed the bill before the legislative session ended at the end of May.
Also nevermind that his rival Democratic candidates (Margaret Donnelly, Jeff Harris, and Chris Koster) all voted for the same bill during the session.
Speaking of the Democratic candidates, we’ll have a report up later in the day about the West County Democrats’ Attorney General Forum, with audio of the event (if I can get it uploaded to my computer!)
