鈥淗e paid in full,鈥 said Chris Nuelle, a spokesman for Attorney General Eric Schmitt, whose office was representing the ethics panel.
The suit, filed Oct. 7, had said the alderman was late in filing multiple reports detailing his fundraising and spending activity dating to 2017 and had failed to pay $930 in late fees. The case was dismissed last week at the attorney general鈥檚 request.
Collins-Muhammad, of the 21st Ward, has declined to comment.
