Rex’s Mighty 100 (PACs)
Can you count on our local newspapers to give you news you can use for the upcoming Mehlville School Board election?
Do you know where the money is coming from to fund the campaigns of Brown, Bertelsen and Mooy?
A PAC called Citizens for Accountable Education is funding the campaign. The man running this PAC is Michael Becker of Shrewsbury. He’s a former candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives. This anti-big government, anti-tax fellow runs a state license office in Maplewood.
The money for Citizens for Accountable Education comes from Rex Sinqefield. He funnels the cash through a number of shell organizations designed to circumvent Missouri’s Campaign finance laws. He donates these funds to anti-public school and pro-voucher candidates. State Representative Jim Lembke is one of the lucky candidates in our region.
Below is a list of Mr. Sinquefield’s PACs. Notice how he uses names that have acronyms to confuse voters. The ones he is using for the race for the Mehlville School Board start with MNEA, which voters are supposed to confuse with the Missouri National Education Association.

Wow, and the Teachers Unions spend money to get raises that force a district into "dismal" financial problems.
I will take candidates that want to reform a district and make sure students succeed any day over the Teacher Union candidates that are out to bankrupt a district.
Judging by the funding Brown, Bertelsen and Mooe they are receiving, they are expected not to reform but deform our schools.
I will agree with you that Karl Frank, Jr. has to be held accountable for both his own personal bancruptcy but also the dismal financial situation of the district.
Wow Mike, I don't have a dog in this fight,but has anyone called Mr. Elliot Davis at channel 2 news for a story on these guys?
I think he could be very interested in this.

On April 5, Burke Wasson of the Call Newspapers, put out a story about area campaign finances. It didn't mention any of the money coming in by these PACs. This is probably the biggest story of the year in S. County and they don't even understand what's going on. Perhaps this BLOG should be required reading for all their writers.
I am sure they did not, that would follow the don't ask, don't tell policy when covering "friends!"
I think your right about your blog being required reading in South County.

Lets see, you and Mikey and ten others probably read this crap.
Actually, I think the number is a little higher than that. I'm amazed when I introduce myself at parties and people tell me that they know me and like my BLOG. Either way, I keep learning things and will continue to share things as I like. Thanks for your input.
