'Friends of the 158th' officially shuts down

Southeast Missourian

A report detailing the final disposal of former Rep. Nathan Cooper's political funds was filed Wednesday with the Missouri Ethics Commission. The Friends of the 158th Committee, a political action committee established in January, officially went out of business with the filing. Victor Gunn, treasurer of the committee as well as treasurer of Cooper's campaign committee, filed the report. Gunn returned all the donations received by the committee since its creation and paid the outstanding bills. That left $64,444.20, split equally between six local charities.
