Nixon proposes appointment to Board of Curators
In a flurry of appointments announced today by Gov. Jay Nixon to various governmental departments, the governor has picked Don Downing, a St. Louis attorney and an alumnus of MU and the MU Law School.
Downing previously served as a chief deputy attorney general in Missouri from 1993-1995, and has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court four times.
The Missouri Senate will have to approve Nixon's appointment for Downing to take the seat.
