Efforts by some lawmakers to impeach Governor Jay Nixon continue at the State Capital. A republican led house committee began hearings yesterday on three separate proposals to impeach the governor. The State Representatives who wrote the proposals say they want to impeach Nixon for his stance on gay couples filing joint tax returns, his delay in filling open legislative seats through a special election and his refusal to fire state officials involved with the department of revenue’s decision last year to scan driver’s license applicants’ personal documents into a computer system. Governor Nixon has called the hearings “some sort of show.”
