I'm thrilled to announce that we just received word from the Missouri Ethics Commission that the two complaints filed against me have been dismissed. This is definitely a big weight off my family's shoulders. Let me disclaim this next section as the Point of View of Brian Becker...just so we are clear: Both complaints were filed by Doug Bagby and investigated by the City's Police Department issuing search warrants and subpoenas to multiple companies in Poplar Bluff, compiling their evidence for the complaint. The complaints alleged that I was responsible for printing the flyers. Approximately 20 of us distributed the flyers around Poplar Bluff the weekend before the election. Bagby wrongfully alleged that my billboards didn't carry the proper disclaimer

UPDATE: Jason Smith from Salem won the Republican Nomination. Toni and I had the pleasure of being youth ministers at First United Methodist Church when Todd and his buddies were in high school. It's great to see youth grow up and become the leaders of today. With JoAnn Emerson stepping down, the race for a successor has been quick since the run-off election is scheduled for June. The list in both main parties continues to narrow and Todd's name continues to be near the top of the Republican's.

Jan 29,"Poplar Bluff Internet vs City of Poplar Bluff" regarding Open Access and the resulting disputed bills: We are thrilled to announce that the Judge ruled today that we can file our response to motions that we attempted to have filed back in November. The judge has awarded us 10 days to post our motion and then I would assume that we'd have a hearing a few weeks following. The judge also ruled that we must pay the City's expenses incurred because of the hearing back in November when no lawyer appeared for Poplar Bluff Internet.
