| Description | Rep. Penny Hubbard, a Democrat from St. Louis, proved to be a key swing vote for two issues Wednesday.
She had initially voted against a bill limiting lawsuits against the Doe Run Co. But on Wednesday, Hubbard joined the Republican majority in overriding Gov. Jay Nixon’s veto of the bill.
One day earlier, her son, Rodney Hubbard, had gotten a lobbying job with Doe Run, according to Missouri Ethics Commission records.
Penny Hubbard also changed her position on a bill limiting lawsuits by uninsured motorists. She gave that override the minimum number of votes needed to pass.
The Missouri Insurance Coalition, which led that drive, also had hired Rodney Hubbard as a lobbyist, on Aug. 21. |
