Morning Lizards. Someone is going to be looking for a new job.

Missouri Governor cuts budget of Public Defenders, is then appointed to be public defender

He used Section 600.042.5, which “gives the Director of the Public Defender System the authority to delegate the legal representation of any person to any member of the state bar of Missouri,” according to the letter.

Punchline? Governor Jay Nixon is a lawyer. In Missouri. Can you guess where this leads?

Hopefully he also starts assigning cases to members of the state legislature.
