Who Has Purchased Call Newspapers?

No, they haven't been sold. Not their business that is, just their integrity. That's what little that was left. Today's the last paper before the primary election and I'm sure the Call will strongly endorse whomever gives them the most money. That's not always easy to figure out because large sums of money have been given to the Call already by Arron Hilmer. This means his guy gets preferential treatment. The Call will, of course, take money from the other candidates for ads. They just won't get the good placement, endorsement or glowing letters to the editor that the purchaser gets.
Election time is critical for the Call. They are mired in debt and are losing good people. I'm working to confirm a variety of problems with medical insurance, bookkeeping and sales staff. Stuff has hit the fan.

As to the Call actually ever being sold, don't get your hopes up. They're not making money. Milligan and Baker/Milligan would want to keep their jobs. Nobody would pay for that. We are going to watch this ship go down and it won't be pretty. It never was.

HE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Gee Whiz! This is a pefect example of what's wrong with our court system. Milligan can't find it within his self to tell the truth and simply plead guilty. Does he think he'll stretch this out long enough that he'll get some more Fire Department Hotline money so he can pay his fines?

Yard Signs Don't Vote in the Missouri 97th

One used to be able to predict elections on the number of yards signs each candidate had in their areas. With better targeted mailings, cheaper cable advertising and telecommunications, those predictions are practically meaningless. Having written all that, it's interesting to watch our local state representive race here in the Missouri 97th.
On the Republican side, it looks like there will be an upset. Chris Brown appears to have more signs outside the district than he does inside. I'm guessing he was counting on more support from the party regulars and they are staying neutral. Retired FBI agent Gary Fuhr appears to be spending the most money as he not only has signs but has a couple of billboards on I-55. The guy that seems to be working the hardest is Bill Zobrist. He's got signs all over my area of the 97th. I'm predicting he'll be representing the Elephant Party this November.
On the Democratic side, we've got Rudy Pulido. Rudy is a retired Baptist minister and appears to be one heck of a nice guy. His signs aren't as numerous and I think that reflects his newness to elective politics. Jan Polizzi. Jan has held this seat before and was a director on the Mehlville School Board as well. She was out early with signs.
Jim Barrett has numerous signs out and the locations and messages I have suggest he has the support of most organizations typically associated with the Democratic Party.
He will represent the party of the Donkey this fall.
