Heavenly Father, Creator of all that is of this generative Earth, we take a moment to attune ourselves to Your presence. For many of us most of the time, You are the backdrop of our day. We seldom notice You except in great joy, in great pain, or in great need.

As our representatives endeavor to perceive Your gentle and powerful company behind and within this moment, may Your spirit of compassionate strength enable and empower the energy they expend and the work they do today. Amen.

In my previous disclosure letter, I had advised you that my employment was as “of counsel” to the law firm of Polsinelli, Shalton, Welte, Suelthaus P. C. I continue to be in the status “of counsel”. I have no ownership interest in this firm, and the fees earned by other attorneys in the firm do not impact my salary.

There are well over two hundred attorneys in this law firm, many of which may represent parties with an interest in proposed legislation. In the majority of these cases, I will not even be aware of this representation, as clients of my employer exceed ten thousand and change daily. I have become aware that some attorneys in my firm provide some legal representation to utilities that may be impacted by decisions made by the Missouri General Assembly. The representations exist in several states and change rapidly, so the identification of each attorney/client relationship cannot be specific.

To the extent that a particular piece of legislation directly impacts an entity, that I know to be a client of my firm, in a manner different than it impacts other similarly situated entities in that industry, I will abstain from voting on the proposal.
