Smith successor sworn into state senate

Just one day after his predecessor was sentenced to federal prison, State Sen. Joe Keaveny (D) was sworn in to represent Missouri's 4th Senatorial District.

53-year-old Keaveny had the oath of office administered by Supreme Court Judge Michael Wolff.

Keaveny, a longtime banking official, was elected in a special election on Nov. 3rd. and will serve the remainder of former state Sen. Jeff Smith's (D) current term, which ends on Jan. 5, 2011.

Smith plead guilty to federal conspiracy charges earlier this year and was sentenced to federal prison yesterday.
