Attorney general concludes state auditor did not violate Missouri Sunshine Law
JEFFERSON CITY -- Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway’s office did not violate the state’s open records laws, an investigation by the attorney general’s office concluded on Thursday.
Attorney General Josh Hawley, a Republican, announced that his office would investigate Galloway, a Democrat, after a complaint filed in December by a GOP-aligned nonprofit called Missouri Alliance for Freedom.
The nonprofit, which had sued Galloway earlier in the year, alleged that the auditor’s office had not properly turned over text messages sent and received on her state-issued phone.
Amy Haywood, section leader of the attorney general’s consumer protection division, and Darrell Moore, deputy attorney general for criminal litigation, led the investigation into Galloway’s compliance with the Sunshine Law. On Thursday, they issued a report clearing Galloway of any wrongdoing.
