Charlie Harris Appointed Supreme Ruler of Missouri's Judicial Branch
You have to serve somebody.
The most powerful elected officials in Missouri must pay alms to the almighty Missouri Bar. Without bar acceptance, elected officials of the third branch (Judicial) cannot fulfill the will of voters.
We ran the story of Charlie Harris the new president of the Missouri Bar last week. His agenda is to increase propaganda (public perception) about how wonderful the Missouri Plan is. He plans to reimburse tuition for attorneys who choose to enter public service.

Missouri Gambling Lobby Gearing Up For 2008 Session
Missouri's gambling interests seem to have found some new friends - Republicans. At least they're looking for some Republican support as they gear up for the 2008 session.
Republican Senator Matt Bartle broke ranks with Senate Republicans opposing any leeway for Missouri's gambling interests.
The Southern Missouri Anti-Gambling strategy, led by Pete Herschend intends to create a "Great Wall" blocking new gambling operations from spreading to the southern parts of the state. Herschend calls gambling a cancer and said he's willing to compromise with Missouri's gambling lobby on loss limits to stop the spread of casinos.
Missouri's Gaming Commission provided some foreshadowing a couple weeks ago saying Missouri's loss limits make Kansas City and St. Louis casinos uncompetitive.
The Kansas legislature loosened gambling regulations earlier this year and Illinois is moving rapidly on the same path.
ACLU Steps Into Christian County Case
A 23 year old woman says that authorities in Christian County violated her rights when they would not allow her to have an abortion.
Summer Blackman was charged with possession of a controlled substance last year. When she returned to court to learn her sentence last week, she was locked up because she failed a recent drug test. Blackman wanted to have an aboriton, but authorities wanted to keep her in custody until a bed in a rehab facility could be secured.
Blackman had been in lock-up about six days before she contacted the American Civil Liberties Union this week. While Blackman was attempting to contact the ACLU on the phone at the jail yesterday, jail personnel told her over the intercom to gather her things because she was being released.
Blackman returns to court on November 2nd for sentencing. She says she believes that she will not go back to jail if she completes rehab. (Report Submitted by Kathee Baird)

Submitted by Kathee Baird Police in Stone County are looking for a man who has been charged with possession of meth, and has other charges pending.
In late September, Stone County Deputies, served a search warrant on Robert Delong' residence. The man wasn't home at the time, but a drug sniffing dog from the Missouri State Water Patrol alerted authorities to an unopened safe in Delong's home.
