Montee, Dooley, Lamping report far more in the bank than rivals for final stretch Print E-mail

montee100susan.jpgWith two months to go before the November election, two Missouri Democrats -- state Auditor Susan Montee (right) and St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley -- hold huge financial edges over their Republican opponents.

Missouri's required 30-days-after-the-primary financial reports, were filed Thursday. They show Montee with $557,105.76 in the bank as of Aug. 31, compared to Schweich's $45,251.31.

Schweich, a St. Louis lawyer and law professor, is cash-poor since he spent just over $1.2 million in his combative GOP primary contest against state Rep. Allen Icet, R-Wildwood.

Schweich's report doesn't include the $50,000 he received Monday from prominent GOP donor David Humphreys. (An earlier version of this post said his tally included the Humphreys contribution; Schweich says his report covered donations only through Aug. 28, last Friday.)

Dooley also had outspent Corrigan by almost 2-to-1 prior to the Aug. 3 primary, although neither had a serious challenge for their parties' respective nominations.

But one area Republican is in strong shape heading into the final two-month sprint -- 24th District state Senate nominee John Lamping (below), who reported $315,166.88 in the bank -- more than eight times the bank tally of Democratic nominee Barbara Fraser, who reported $45,313.24.

'The Road Show' improv

Brent Jones | St. Louis Beacon

This Saturday was the debut of a new show by The Improv Shop that will bring out of town improv teams to St. Louis to play for — and with — a local audience. The Road Show brought teams "Everybody Grok" and "Felt" from Chicago.

We talked to Eric Christensen, producer of the Road Show and member of local improv team "Ted Dangerous"; Katie Nunn, member of "Ted Dangerous" and improv coach; and Melanie Penn and Ranjan Khan, members of local teams "Melanj" and "Magic Ratio"; about the St. Louis improv scene and why it's important to welcome teams from other cities to perform here.

mikado

The MIKADO has a little list … were you on it?

The St. Louis Beacon rang in 2012 with a concert performance of Gilbert & Sullivan's beloved operetta, "The Mikado," at the Sheldon Concert Hall, and the Higher Education Channel was on hand to record it. Here is a link to the complete perfomance, which we hope you'll enjoy.

 The musical direction of "The Mikado" was by Amy Kaiser; Craig Terry was conductor-accompanist. All proceeds from ticket sales benefitted the Beacon.
