State legislators Jeff Smith (left) and Steve Brown have submitted their resignation letters today to the governor's office after both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to obstruct justice charges. Nixon announced this afternoon that he's setting Nov. 3 as the special election date to fill the seats vacated by Smith, a senator from St. Louis, and Brown, a House member from Clayton and an attorney.
