Missouri House Represenative seeking to file articles of Impeachment against Gov Jay Nixon

Missouri House Republican Nick Marshall of Parkville says he will seek to file articles of impeachment against Democrat Governor Jay Nixon after he believes the administration violated Missouri’s tax law. Earlier in the year the Governor issued an executive order directing officials to accept join tax filings from same-sex couples who are legally married. He also wants to go after the release of names from the concealed gun permit holders to federal agents as well as driver’s license procedures that he believes the administration did in violation of the tax law. A response from the state Attorney general’s office says they see that the filing the Governor’s office made appears to follow the requirements of the Missouri Tax law.
