The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating a reporter who uncovered a flaw on the website for the state's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education that exposed the Social Security numbers of state teachers. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch alerted the state and allowed the problem to be fixed before publishing a story about the issue. But Gov. Mike Parson said the reporter committed a crime and should be punished.
