Intro: Senate Republican deserter Chris Koster says he might leave politics altogether after quitting the Republican party only several weeks ago.
Brandon Smith has more from Jefferson City. Senator Chris Koster voiced concern over the widening gap in the Senate and wondered about his own future should these trends continue.
Koster's unhappiness, which led to his flight from the GOP, might force him to the one place he has left to go - out of politics entirely.
Koster's comments came after being stripped of all his committees by President Pro Tem Michael Gibbons, with no committees yet assigned to him by Democratic leadership. Reporting from the State Capitol, I'm Brandon Smith.
