State officials supervise computer gaming

One of Missouri's top administration officials says Missouri doesn't need a law against computer games -- like the one proposed for fedral workers.

Rebecca Sapakie (suh-PACK-ey) has the story from Jefferson City.

In Congress, there's a proposal to ban games on federal employee computers.

But Missouri's top administrator -- Administration Commissioner Dick Hanson -- says there's no need for that kind of law in Missouri.

He says games already are removed on state-government computer systems.

And Hanson rejects the argument that the relaxation of games would improve worker productivity.

The Office of Administration goes so far as to put a reminder in its newsletter to make sure employees use their computers for work not waste.
