JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has collected more than $200,000 in campaign donations in the past week. State campaign finance reports show Nixon's campaign received donations from businesses, labor unions and a law firm. Roughly two-thirds, or $150,000, came from three labor unions. A union for plumbers and pipe fitters and one for ironworkers each donated $25,000. Auto workers gave $100,000. Missouri law requires campaign donations of more than $5,000 to be reported within 48 hours.
