  • The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
    GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car.

  • Greitens Scandal Could Influence Missouri Special Election by Blake Nelson the Associated Press Published June 4, 2018
    Greitens scandal could influence Missouri special election By Blake Nelson The Associated Press Published June 4, 2018 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — One of the first Republican legislators to publicly suggest impeaching former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens will face a Democrat who tried to tie him to the scandal-plagued governor in a special election, just four days after Greitens resigned amid allegations of sexual misconduct and campaign violations. The election Tuesday to pick a replacement for former GOP state Sen. Ryan Silvey was already viewed as a potential political barometer for Missouri ahead of the midterms, but Greitens’ abrupt departure last week injects additional meaning into the race between two state representatives. Republican Kevin Corlew and Democrat Lauren Arthur both positioned themselves as Greitens critics long before his resignation, which happened as the Legislature considered impeachment. Corlew took a stronger stance against Greitens than most of his GOP colleagues when he released a statement in April saying that the House should “seriously consider impeachment.” However, a commercial from Arthur’s campaign says: “Jefferson City is corrupt, and politicians like Eric Greitens and Kevin Corlew are the problem.” The vacancy was triggered in January when Silvey was appointed to the Missouri Public Service Commission. Silvey, himself a frequent critic of Greitens, leaves behind a suburban Kansas City seat that provides both parties with some reason for optimism. In 2016, voters in Clay County, where it’s located, backed Republicans Greitens for governor and Donald Trump for president while picking Democrat Jason Kander for U.S. Senate. In 2012 they favored Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney while backing Democratic incumbents Claire McCaskill for Senate and Jay Nixon for governor.

  • Motion for REPORT 2018 - ANNUAL 2019 HUNGER ATTORNEYS AGAINST ST
    ST. LOUIS ATTORNEYS motion for AGAINST HUNGER ANNUAL 2018 - 2019 REPORT Mission Promoting the Rule of Law Advancing the Spirit of Justice The St. Louis Bar Foundation promotes the Rule of Law and the administration of justice in both our society and within the legal profession. The Foundation seeks to improve the administration of justice in our community through law related education directed to citizens as well as through charitable undertakings. The Foundation is committed to strengthening the legal profession by encouraging attorneys to practice with the highest level of professionalism and civility and to engage in meaningful community service. History The St. Louis Bar Foundation is a 501(C)(3) corporation, founded in 1956, for the sole purpose of providing grants and scholarships that support and promote the improvement of the administration of justice through legal education and legal services. But, just as important, we are lawyers, judges and lay men and women who promote the study of law, and equal access to justice for all. The most impactful work often occurs behind the scenes, so as we come to the end of another bar year and the end of my term as Foundation President, I wanted to highlight the successes and triumphs of your Bar Foundation through this – which I hope is the first of many – Annual Report. This is an opportunity for us to peel back the curtain and show the hard work of the Board of Directors, our Fellows, our volunteers and staff who contribute to furthering the mission of the Foundation. But, before we get to the report itself, let me begin by conveying the Board’s sincerest thanks to all of the organizations, institutions, and individuals who support the Foundation’s events and programming.
