Attorney General Nixon again speaks to Boys State citizens

As he has done since taking office in 1993, Attorney General Jay Nixon traveled to Warrensburg on June 15 to speak to the hundreds of young men who come there each year as citizens of Missouri Boys State. Recognizing that these young men will be the leaders of tomorrow, Nixon spoke to them about leadership and pursuing goals of public service. The citizens of Boys State then were able to ask the Attorney General questions for about an hour. (Photo by Sara Miller, courtesy of Missouri Boys State)
