JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri House has reduced the salary of a St. Louis lawmaker who was censured after being accused of having sex with a Capitol intern and lying during an investigation.
Rep. Wile Price IV, a Democrat from St. Louis, is receiving $1,000 less a month, as the House seeks to have him pay back $22,492 in costs from the ethics investigation.
Price was censured in January and has been removed as a member of the Missouri House Democratic caucus.
He was the first House lawmaker in Missouri history to receive the official rebuke.
