Watchdog Chit Chat
O'Fallon Watchdog
Exposing Corruption, Injustices and the Truth.
Welcome to the Watchdog's Chit
Chat
page. This page is a place
where our readers can read some of
the random musings of the O'Fallon
Watchdog.

Along with what area papers report
there are many fellow Watchdogs in
the area that often share Tid-Bits of
information with the Watchdog.

Some readers may not understand
some of the Watchdog's musings
but others most certainly will.

Watchdog? Send it using the link on

Frankly, I'm fed up with politicians in Washington lecturing the rest of us about
family values. Our families have values. But our government doesn’t.

Welcome back to Watchdog Chit Chat. Sorry for the delay but I've been  
reading Mayor Donna Morrow's 20 volumes of books which require
O'Fallon to  violate the law.

Speaking of Morrow, I hope everyone got to see her on You  Paid For It last
week.
Morrow was defending O'Fallon's actions in issuing  building permits to
McBride & Sons to build houses on a public road (Koch  Road.)  Morrow had
originally instructed staff to inform McBride that  building permits would not be
issued until Koch Road was vacated but she later  changed her mind (as well as
her direction, her friends, her assistant and her  hair style) and allowed
Bob
Lowery
and staff to violate the law. Morrow's  explanation? "Because we had
the authority to."  

Mark Perkins
is running against Dan Christoff for a seat  on the O'Fallon
council. While Christoff has still not figured out who he is  representing he has
made some progress and he is a much better candidate than  Perkins. Perkins
served on the board during the corrupt tenure of
Paul Renaud  and Perkins was
a loyal Renaud soldier. Perkins was booted from office by a  convincing margin
when he lost to
Bob Patek and voters in Ward 1 need to remind  themselves
why Perkins needed to go.

St. Peters is doing all it can to take the spotlight off  O'Fallon. Elliott Davis and
You Paid For It have done several stories on  wasteful spending in St. Peters
and the city has not done itself any favors  either as it continues to attempt to
keep its residents from hearing dissenting  view points. Here is a partial list of
St. Peters actions;
limiting citizen comments, moving comments to the
end of meetings
, restrictive seating so that  critics won't be seen on TV,
removal of KFAV from its cable access because it  carries a radio show, Fish
& Ships
which has been critical of the city's  actions, refusal to air the findings of
Missouri State Auditor
Susan Montee's  audit and repeated attempts to
misrepresent facts to its residents. St. Peters  and its former mayor Tom
Brown
, also were found by a Federal jury to have  punished an area
business in retaliation for the business owner speaking out  against the
city
.

Rumor has it:
*
  Bob Lowery has been looking for a new job  
*   The following people are considering running for O'Fallon mayor in 2009;
Vickie Schneider, Cynthia Davis, Bill Gardner, Peter Cantwell, Donna
Morrow
 and Pierce Conley.
*   First Capitol News will start covering O'Fallon
*   A new paper may start covering O'Fallon  
*   More lawsuits are coming O'Fallon's way

Dog Bites:
*
  Do the Suburban Journals and the Post-Dispatch call it hush money or
advertising dollars?
*   
Susan Montee just finished her investigation into Jeffrey Dahmer and  
declared him a good guy.  And a vegetarian.
*   Where has Peter Cantwell gone?  
*   Why is the "great" former police chief Steve Talbott still just a  patrolman?  
*   Who looked worse, Donna "we have the authority" Morrow or Len "deer in
the  headlights" Pagano?
*   Steve Ehlmann has announced that there are job openings in County  
government. All interested current and former St.Charles County elected  
officials are asked to apply directly to Ehlmann.  
*   Whatever happened to that school in
Hyland Green? Please direct all  
inquiries to
Carl Maus  (e-mail Carl Maus)
*   When is the Governor going to fill the vacancy of St. Charles County  
Prosecuting Attorney
?
*   Does Mark Perkins want to get elected to build his resume for a job with  
Paul McKee?

The Dog House:

It was a tough decision on who to put in the dog house so we decided  to send
Donna Morrow and Len Pagano in together. Both have turned on those who  
supported them and both abandoned their campaign promises. In addition, both
of  them have become an
embarrassment to their respective cities. Of course,
the  real reason we are putting them in the dog house is because we have the  
authority to, because we have the authority to.

St. Peters Press release: The City of St. Peters is  pleased to  announce
Mayor Len Pagano has been invited to join the prestigious  "
Dog House" by the
O'Fallon Watchdog. The Watchdog cited Pagano on his  ability to change
direction when needed and noted his willingness to take a  stance, even if means
disagreeing with his supporters. Pagano stated "I am  proud of this award and
take special satisfaction in the recognition of my  appearance on
You Paid For
It
, where the Watchdog noted my ability to look at  an issue head on without
blinking." St. Peters residents are reminded not to  visit the Watchdog web
site directly for information but instead all  information will be made
available by our PR(avda) department.
