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:

Friends of Chris Brown 72% Reside out of the district

These contributors all live outside of our school district:

*This MNEA is not related to any teachers association. It's an acronym designed to confuse people and stands for Missourians Needing Educational Alternatives. These PACs are funded solely by anti-public school and voucher proponent Rex Sinquefield.

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.
