Political Briefs

By Gabe Bullard

Filed Friday, September 21, 2007 at 8:17 AM

BARACK ME ALL NIGHT LONG - All the local Obama Girls will soon have a place to camp out at. We've learned that the Barack Obama for President campaign has come to Missouri. They are currently working out of a donated temporary office space — really a cubical — in a St. Louis business, but they are looking for more permanent digs. This comes just over four months before the Presidential Preference Primary Vote on Feburary 5, 2008.

IRONS BEHIND BARS? - If you were anywhere near a TV yesterday, you may have heard that former Vashon basketball coach Floyd Irons pleaded guilty to wire fraud and mail fraud Thursday. The charges are related to real estate purchases made in 2005 and 2006. Irons now faces 30 years in prison and one million dollars in fines. Sentencing is on November 29th. Swish!

ETHICS COMMISSION: 'NEVERMIND' - The Missouri Ethics Commission took back it's decision ordering candidates to either justify or give back campaign contributions over a retroactively imposed limit. The initial decision was made on September 11, but Republicans filed suit claiming the commission violated open meeting laws. The commission voted to withdraw that decision yesterday, and will take up the issue in their October 4 meeting.

Irons said he was going to talk. Hope he tells on Purdy's boys.
