U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., talks to reporters during a news conference in this Aug. 16, 2007 file photo, at the State Fairgrounds in Sedalia, Mo. Graves' wife, Lesley Graves, plans to sell her shares of Show Me Ethanol LLC, an ethanol plant set to open this spring. The investors conditionally qualified for a special low-interest BIG Missouri loan but strict conflict-of-interest laws do not allow the incentive to be given if even a single owner is a lawmaker, statewide elected official, state department director or a parent, sibling, spouse or child of any of those officials. The policy does not specifically include federal lawmakers but the current state treasurer is interpreting it that way.(AP Photo/Kelley McCall)
