I think existing laws are OK, if not enforced properly (laws are different jurisdiction to jurisdiction, so I don't know what exact law this guy is being accused of breaking). Usually, though, in court, you do have to prove intent in a criminal case. That this case is against the state, though, is probably unlucky. The governor doesn't want to appear to have egg on his face, even if it would be better for the good people of Missouri if he would just say "thank you" and delegate the responsibility of fixing the issue to the right person.
