JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- A former Democratic lawmaker has been appointed as the new revenue collector in Pemiscot County.
Gov. Jay Nixon on Monday said he had selected former representative Terry Swinger of Caruthersville, Mo., to take over the county collector position after the recent death of collector Keith Jean.
Swinger represented a Southeast Missouri state House district from 2004 to 2012. He's an optometrist and past president of the Missouri Optometric Association.
