According to early results, Brannum wins by 60 votes over Edington. What a wonderful announcement! The good ole boys have been defeated tonight and decency and honor have been restored to the council seat of ward 4. I had a chance to speak with Johnny tonight and he said, "I walked the ward four times and spoke to the good people of our community. I owe this victory to the wonderful people of ward 4, plus my family and support team. I am excited to be sworn in and get to work." I cannot express to you how much fun that was to type. Brian

The City of Poplar Bluff, MY City, YOUR City, asked the state of Missouri to silence me today. Many countries in this world would have granted the City's request: China, Iran, Russia, to name a few. Thank God we live in the U.S.A. where freedom of speech is a right and protected by our courts. During the hearing today, the City kept stating over and over that my blogging was an attempt to "Poison The Jury Pool." The City went so far as to suggest they might not find impartial jurors and that because of my blogs they might have to consider a change of venue.

Poplar Bluff businessman Doug Libla filed yesterday to run for the 25th State Senatorial District as a Republican. As a result of term limits, the seat will not have an incumbent on the ballot in August. The 25th State Senate District as proposed in the most recent apportionment consists of Butler, Carter, Dunklin, Mississippi, New Madrid, Pemiscot, Shannon and Stoddard counties. Libla, 59, is a rural conservative who is 100% Pro-Life, Pro-Second Amendment, Pro-Agriculture, and is a steadfast believer in limited government. He is not a professional politician; this is the first time he has run for elected office.
