Democratic Action Alert:

Fix the Conflict of Interest
Tell Matt Blunt and Todd Graves to Fix Their Fee Office Mess

Gov. Matt Blunt and U.S. Attorney Todd Graves have created a critical conflict of interest, that leaves Missourians with no choice but to question the integrity of the Governor's office and the protection they will receive from the U.S. Attorney's office. With Graves' wife and brother-in-law accepting $3.6 million in no-bid contracts to run two of the state's most lucrative fee offices.

Because Graves' office oversees investigations into wrongdoing or corruption in the state capitol, this situation amounts to $3.6 million in corruption insurance for Blunt. The arrangement seemingly will ensure that the Blunt administration will never be investigated for corruption or wrongdoing as long as Graves and his family continue to get rich off of the Blunt administration.

Tell Matt Blunt and Todd Graves to clean up this mess and fix this conflict of interest immediately. Either Graves' should resign as U.S. Attorney or Blunt must rescind the no-bid handouts he gave to Graves' wife and brother-in-law.

Dear Gov. Blunt and U.S. Attorney Graves, I was shocked to learn about the appointment of Mr. Graves' wife and brother-in-law to receive $3.6 million in no-bid contracts by running Missouri fee offices. This situation creates a dangerous conflict of interest for our state and its citizens. We have a right to expect that the U.S. attorney representing Jefferson City will act as a tenacious watchdog protecting the public's best interests. If you believe in integrity and if you believe in representing the best interests of the people of this state, you will resolve this conflict of interest immediately. Either Mr. Graves must step down as U.S. Attorney or his wife and brother-in-law must give up their fee office contracts. The choice is yours.
