A Reynolds County judge on May 22 ruled that Attorney General Jay Nixon – not the Missouri Department of Natural Resources – has the legal authority to represent the state in its lawsuit against Ameren Corp. over the December 2005 collapse of the company’s Taum Sauk reservoir that destroyed Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park.
Nixon and DNR Director Doyle Childers have battled over who has the authority to negotiate a settlement in the matter, with Childers seeking to have Nixon’s office removed from the case.
