Jason Kander subjected to crybaby ethics complaint

The Missouri Republican Party has filed the world’s prissiest ethics complaint against state Rep. Jason Kander.

Kander, a Democrat who lives in Waldo, has made ethics reform one of his priorities. His efforts to make Jefferson City a less scuzzy place leave him open to charges of hypocrisy — or so Lloyd Smith, executive director of the state GOP, thinks. Kander, Smith says, believes that the laws he promotes don’t apply to him. Smith’s white-hot evidence? Kander filed a campaign-finance report one day late.
