Controversy over the governor’s mansion. A member of the foundation that oversees the Missouri Governor’s Mansion says she quit because the governor’s wife is making too many decisions. Marion Smith first raised her concerns about Teresa Parson in October. She says the governor’s wife dictates staffing and tells the foundation how to spend money. This comes after a longtime director of the Friends of the mansion also quit. The governor’s office says he and his wife support the work of the foundation.
