Two married Missouri legislators — now facing legal action for not paying their Metropolitan 50¶È»ÒÊÓƵ Sewer District bill — have a history of owing MSD for services.
A lawsuit filed by MSD claims that state Sen. and her husband, state Rep. , owe $968 for past sewage, stormwater and waste services at their home on Waterford Drive in Florissant.
This pending lawsuit is not the first time that MSD has taken the Mosleys to court for past due sewer bills.
A suit filed in February 2020, when the Mosleys owed more than $1,000, was dismissed in September 2020.
Since January 2017, a period of 70 months, the Mosleys’ MSD bill has only been paid in full on two occasions, November 2020 and May 2021, MSD records indicate.

In that period, the overdue bill exceeded $1,000 from January 2020 until November 2020. The largest amount owed by the Mosleys during that time was in July 2020, when the debt reached $1,201.
After paying off their bill in November 2020, only sporadic payments have been made: five in 2021, two in 2022 and one so far this year.
Jay Mosley and Angela Walton Mosley have not responded to multiple messages. A hearing initially set for last week was moved to Jan. 3 in 50¶È»ÒÊÓƵ County Circuit Court.
The first married couple to ever serve simultaneously in the Missouri General Assembly, the Mosleys are Democrats and represent districts in north 50¶È»ÒÊÓƵ County. They also are connected to an influential political family.
Angela Mosley’s father is former state representative and politico Elbert Walton Jr.; her stepmother was former state representative Juanita Head Walton; and her sister is former County Councilwoman Rochelle Walton Gray, whose husband is state Rep. Alan Gray.
The couple’s daughter, Janay Mosley, has filed to run for the state House seat opening up next year when her father’s term expires.
Angela and Jay Mosley each earned around $37,000 last year as Missouri legislators, .
This is a historic signing here from House Speaker , signing Missouri Lottery legislation from State and Rep. Jay Mosley (D-Florissant). It's the first time in state history husband-and-wife legislators have passed a bill together.
