The Latest: Senators talk lieutenant governor vacancy law
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Latest on allegations against Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (all times local):5 p.m.
Missouri senators are considering changing how the lieutenant governor's replacement is chosen amid calls for Republican Gov. Eric Greitens to leave office, which would put Lt. Gov. Mike Parson in charge.
Senators on Wednesday debated a proposal to require the governor to call a special election to fill a vacancy in the lieutenant governor's office. No vote was taken.
The debate came after Greitens last week was indicted by a St. Louis grand jury on one felony count of invasion of privacy related to his 2015 extramarital affair. The House also has formed a committee to investigate.
