the ferguson committee meets at the capitol

A House and Senate committee on government oversight has met for the first time, preparing to investigate how the Nixon Administration responded to the Michael Brown shooting and the unrest that followed.
Columbia state senator Kurt Schaefer was voted the chair of that committee. He says it has all the powers of a circuit court. Will he subpoena Governor Nixon?…

Several members of the committee expressed their anger about how the state has responded to Ferguson, particularly the night the grand jury decision not to indict the officer that shot Brown was released.
