Grand jury looks at ‘substantial misuse of funds’ at Show-Me Institute

Update: Daily RFT confirms that the Show-Me Institute is closing its Columbia office. Crosby Kemper III says the closing isn’t related to the grand-jury probe. Speaking of probes (or, one hopes, not), Kemper tells the RFT this about the investigation: “Let’s just say a lot of things were

happening that don’t usually occur at a think tank.”

The news blog at The Pitch‘s sister paper in St. Louis, Riverfront Times, reports that a grand jury is investigating a financial problem at the Show-Me Institute, the libertarian think tank founded by St. Louis gazillionaire Rex Sinquefield.
