Missouri governor taps campaign donor for flight to Super Bowl

JEFFERSON CITY — While thousands of other fans from Missouri paid their own way to get to Sunday’s Super Bowl in Miami, Gov. Mike Parson relied on a campaign benefactor to make the 1,300-mile trek.

Parson, a Republican, rode on Independence businessman Tom Duvall’s airplane to see his beloved Kansas City Chiefs win the big game over the San Francisco 49ers.

The plane ride will be recorded as a contribution when the governor’s political action committee, Uniting Missouri, files its next campaign finance report with the Missouri Ethics Commission in April.

Uniting Missouri treasurer John Hancock said the use of the plane is legal because Parson raised money while in Florida for the game….

You think they got window seats? Just asking.
