Posted 10:41 a.m. Thurs., 03.18.10 - Missouri's senior Republican senator says the so-called "self-executing rule" is aptly named because

health care through Congress."
Posted 2:10 p.m. Tues., 03.16.10 - The Missouri Ethics Commission said the complaint filed by the Missouri GOP about John Temporiti's acting as a lobbyist when he was not registered as one was unsubstantiated.

Posted 1:15 a.m. Mon., 03.15.10 - The Missouri Bar Association is denying that it has spent any money for any campaigns, as a rival group maintains in an accusation filed with the state Ethics Commission. ShowMe Better Courts contends in a complaint that the Bar should have filed reports with the commission detailing its spending against ShowMe Better Courts' initiative petition drive for a proposal to get rid of the state's appointive system for selecting judges in Missouri's urban areas and on the higher courts, including the state Supreme Court.

Posted 1 a.m. Sun., 03.14.10 - U.S. Rep. Roy Blunt may be from southwest Missouri, but he and other state Republicans apparently believe the fate of his Republican bid for the U.S. Senate may rest with his election performance in St. Louis County. Blunt has set up his statewide campaign headquarters in Sunset Hills, in the same building that now houses a new satellite office for the state Republican Party. The new quarters signal the GOP's push to snag more county votes.
Posted 4:30 p.m. Fri., 03.12.10 - St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay and St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley will officially kick off on Monday the 2010 Census, as forms begin to arrive in area mailboxes.

Posted 11:30 a.m. Fri., 03.12.10 - U.S. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D. -- and who made his mark when he knocked off prominent Democratic incumbent Tom Daschle -- will be in town next Monday to help local Republican congressional candidate Ed Martin, who hopes to do the same against Democratic incumbent Russ Carnahan.
Posted 6 p.m. Thurs., 03.11.10 - St. Louis aldermen offer glowing reports of their unprecedented joint meeting Thursday with Kansas City's elected officials and business leaders, to discuss the importance of the two cities' earnings taxes to their economic well-being -- and that of their surrounding regions and the state. The two cities are joining forces in an effort to kill an initiative petition drive that could repeal the 1 percent tax.
Posted 10:30 p.m. Wed., 03.10.10 - President Barack Obama reprised his St. Charles speech Tuesday night when he addressed two more supportive crowds at events at a hotel downtown. He defended his push for health-care reform, despite the polls, saying he was committed to standing on principle: "We don't shirk from a challenge, we don't shrink from responsibilities; we embrace them -- for our children and the next generation."
