Wrap: Senator Jamilah Nasheed of St. Louis offered an amendment to an ethics bill that would ban lobbyists from paying for any lawmaker, their staff or family to travel in or out of state as well paying for sports tickets.
Nasheed said this amendment is necessary to restore the public's trust in government.
