Follow the Money in Mehlville II

Citizens for Accountability in Education is the Political Action Committee formed by Michael Becker to purchase the election for Chris Brown, David Bertelsen and Linda Mooy. A review of their contributors finds the following:

The Mehlville Fire Department Gets Hotter

Tonight, I understand the MFPD's Board of Directors authorized the hiring of an outside firm to investigate some alleged harassment to one of their employees, Marty Becker. That's quite a coincidence. I understand James Stonebraker has been up in arms about the fact that none of Becker's fellow firefighters will tuck Marty into bed at night. This is quite humorous since the only district firefighter known to have harassed anybody is our current chief. James Silvernail had issues with his his former employer, Metro West Fire Department and their board of directors. He pleaded guilty to harassing them and a restraining order was issued against him after being hired by the Mehlville Fire Protection District. Former Ladue Firefighter Marty Becker is the brother of Mike Becker, Realtor, fee license agent for the state of Missouri and political tool for Chris Brown, Davis Bertelsen, Arron Hilmer, Bonnie Stegman, James Stonebraker, Kenny Hulsof, Rex Sinquefield, etc.

Digging a Little Deeper in the Well

Unlike Call Newspaper reporter Burke Wasson, I went further than just the St. Louis County Election Board's records when researching the financial backers of the Rex (Sinquefield) Rangers and their extreme right wing attempt to take over the Mehlville School District.
At the election board, you'll find only Chris Brown of the Brown, Bertelson, Mooy slate even bothered to form a committee. Why should they with Mike Becker as their puppetmaster? They might actually have to think and act on their own if they did.
