Joe Hodgin, District Supervisor for Missouri Division of Alcohol & Tobacco Control, confirmed the legitimacy of an email citing six Branson Area Alcohol Distributers were busted in a sting operation over the weekend.
The E-mail was sent to Branson Police Chief Carroll McCullough and Mayor Raeanne Presley who refused to release e-mails funneled to a personal address using city resources.
Last week Mayor Raeanne Presly denied a sunshine request for communication recieved digitally marketed through city resources including the city Website and Business Card's purchased at tax payer's expense.
Two operations cited in Hodgin's e-mail occured at the Branson Landing.
The establishments were Liberty Tavern, managed by the Hilton Corporataion and Bar Louie.
The Hilton Corporation plans on opening a beer garden at the Branson Landing promenade when permitting is complete. The booth where Hilton will be providing alcohol to patrons,who must sit in a roped off area, has sat empty for nearly two years.
The action taken by Missouri's division of Alcohol and Tabacco Control occured on Friday July 25th and Saturday July 26th, three businesses were ticketed each day for a total of six busts altogether.
The City of Branson is hosting a forum on underage drinking tomorrow, planning to execute an extensive liqour control policy over the next few weeks and passed an ordincance last night Monday July 28th to increase enforcement of drinking on private property.

Alderman Stephen Marshall Votes to Regulate His Competitors
Last Monday night at Branson City Hall Alderman voted to approve the first reading of a liquor ordinance which would regulate the competitors of Hammon's owned Chateau on the Lake.
General Manager of Chateau on the Lake and Branson Alderman Stephen Marshall allows visitors to walk around freely with alcoholic beverages on the resort he manages- a privilege Marshall doesn't believe his competition should have.
The apparent conflict of interest was of no concern to Marshall who voted in favor of regulating alcohol distribution and consumption as it relates to his competitors.

Branson Area Cops Threaten Drunk Drivers July 3-6

Branson Area Police Forces are spamming press releases hoping to curtail drunk driving over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.
Celebrating the nation's independence from British rule is often celebrated with explosives and booze. Unfortunately amateur pyrotechnicians and drunks make this weekend especially perilous.
Law enforcement officers will be setting road blocks throughout the tri-lakes area. Although it's never a good idea to drink and drive (idiotic), the potential for serious legal issues and severe bodily harm is especially high during this celebratory day.
Celebrate safely. For a substantial fee the "Branson Edge" is assigning designated drivers during the weekend. Prison and/or death is no way to celebrate Independence Day.
