According to Doug Bagby, City Manager of Poplar Bluff, MO, "roughly 2,900 signatures" are needed to place the Open Access Petition on the ballot. Mr. Bagby further commented that "If you do acquire the correct number of signatures…the City Council will abide by the 'letter of the law' and the 'spirit of the law' and honor the vote of the public whichever way it turns out." A grassroots effort is underway to secure 3,000 Poplar Bluff registered voter signatures in 60 days, dubbed “3k60”.

We will be closed May 30, 2011 in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen on May 31, 2011 with our normal business hours.

Dear Cable Internet Customer, [If you do not get your Internet service over the "City Cable" network in Poplar Bluff you do not have to worry about this announcement.] The City now requires you to call in to the City Cable office (686-8020) or you will NOT be transitioned to their service and will be disconnected on May 9. In cooperation with the Council's decision, we provided City Cable with the list of customers to be transitioned over to their system on or before May 9. However, in contradiction to what Bill Bach, David Presley and Michael Pry agreed to almost a month ago, City Cable has decided to change the rules on us once again.

Dear Customers and Friends, Sadly, we found out today that our injunction was denied and we have to hand over all of our cable internet customers to MyCityCable. As we find out more, we will post it to the web site. As I've stated before, we will work to make this an easy transition for you. Over the next weeks you will receive several emails about this transition.

Today we filed our final brief in support of our application for the preliminary injunction to stay on the cable internet system until a trial. You can read it here. We've been told that the opposition will file their brief by tomorrow; then it is all in the judge's hands. Thank you all for your support during this unpleasant process.
