Are you sure Mae Duggan is a Mehlville resident? Is this the same Mae Duggan who is married to the Channel 9 Donnybrook ultra-conservative Martin Duggan? My recollection is they live in a more affluent suburb than our humble little corner of the planet. If it is the same Mae Duggan, she is a very vocal proponent of school vouchers.

So? Its not illegal for anyone to contribute as long as it doesn't exceed the limits. Mr. Brown has friends all around the state and country. Look at Joan Barry, her contributions come from many sources outside her district. This argument is a red herring. It's still a free country, until Comrade Obama takes over.

3:18 Thanks for pointing that out. I had accidentally italicized her name. I've put it in color to make it clearer.
5:11 I never suggested that any of these contributions were illegal. I will say that it is more than a little unusual for someone to get over 72 percent of their contributions from out of their district
IN A SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION!!!!!
When you consider that many of these contributors are known to be very anti-public education, that really speaks for itself. That was a cute little thing you did with Senator Obama's name, but the fifties scare tactics are a bit old.

I would like to know who all the other 7 candidates received donations from. Would you please list those donors also?

I read through the other candidates committee reports. I found nothing of interest. You can visit the county elections office on Manchester if you'd like to see for yourself. Interestingly, Bertelsen and Mooy didn't file a report. I guess with Mr. Becker handling everything for them, they didn't need to.

I didn't see any signs for Bertelsen and Mooy. Did you see any?
Frank still has some of his signs up --he's such a lazy ass.

No, I didn't see any signs for them and I think Chris used his from the year before. I like to let everyone share their information and opinions but please leave the expletives out in the future. Besides, it's more fun to spell using #*#.I'm guessing Karl likes to see his name in the lights. Usually friends will take your signs down for you and bring them to your house. It's odd they have stayed up so long.
