A St. Louis County councilman hired his stepdaughter as his administrative assistant. The county prosecutor decided that the councilman should be removed from office because of the violation of the state’s nepotism rule.
The councilman, who said that he was completely unaware of the nepotism law, in fact called for a rival’s ouster in 2017, and cited the law.
The prosecutor (now a US Representative) just settled a lawsuit of his own for discrimination against an employee when he was a prosecutor. He probably didn’t know any better, either.
