Republican Central Committee Chairman Requests St. Louis County Government to Clarify FBI Probe

According to KMOX radio, the FBI is conducting a high level investigation of St. Louis County government. This is not good news for Missouri Democrats who are mired in corruption issues in the St. Louis area. Recently State Representative T.D. El-Amin and State Senator, Jeff Smith have gone to jail for criminal activities. Also, Steve Brown of the 73 Congressional District resigned his seat because of involvement with Smith. El-Alin, Smith and Brown are all Democrats.

In response to the KMOX radio report, Richard Magee, chairman of the St. Louis County Republican Central Committee, asks that County Officials publicly explain, in detail, the nature of an on-going investigation of the County by the FBI. Magee commented, “I am concerned about the credibility of county officials and their ability to conduct official business now and in the future.”

According to reports by KMOX news, there is an ongoing probe of the County and how it awards contracts. KMOX’s report stated that, “this goes all the way to the top.”
