Show-Me State Fed Investigation Speculation Continues Thanks To The Star

The Star: "The FBI has been asking questions about why Missouri House leaders blocked legislation earlier this year affecting millions of dollars in sales taxes charged by cities. State Rep. Tim Jones said Monday that he was contacted by telephone in October by an FBI agent inquiring why colleagues spiked the sales tax legislation he sponsored."

TKC Fact . . . Nobody knows how the story will play out but Kansas City's paper of record is reporting every bit of gossip, innuendo and chatter as fact in order to keep Statewide legislators on their toes. It's not a horrible strategy but it does ignore media consumers who want their news just a tad more concrete.

Still . . . Reporting rumor is interesting work for any blogger or reporter.
