The Missouri Ethics Commission has dismissed a complaint against a state House member over allegations that he allowed lobbyist gifts for others to be reported as his.
The commission this past week said it found no inaccuracies in lobbyist expenditures for the past three years. The report said it also didn't find any expenditures that should have been reported to other public officials.
Republican Rep. Craig Redmon of Canton first was paraphrased by the Kirksville Daily Express and later told The Associated Press that he sometimes has told people to put under his name expenses that actually were made for others.
The Canton Republican has since denied any such action. Redmon said he misspoke and wasn't paying attention to questions.
The executive director of liberal advocacy group Progress Missouri filed the ethics complaint.
