Nationalists support criminal judge
Judge Lee summoned to appear in Carver, considered first arrest at MBS
BY MASON STORNELLO
LEWIS
T
his year, many Missouri Boys
State citizens require extra
motivation to fill nominations
for city and county level positions. Due
to the requirement to attend a specific
school, and the fact that the driven citizens of MBS wish to fulfill higher positions, many positions go uncontested
as they only have one candidate.
However, as judicial positions are
being sought, during Sunday’s Barton
County Nationalist
Party meeting, the
Nationalist citizens
of Clark and Lewis
JUDGE LEE
voted on their candidate for municipal and assistant circuit judges.
Lewis’s Ji-Ho Lee was named the
party’s candidate for assistant circuit
judge.
At lunch Monday, Dean of Counselors Dale Wright asked all MBS citizens
if anybody had been arrested. A single
hand shot up out of the crowd of half
the MBS population. It was Lee’s.
Monday morning, Lee was summoned to appear in front of Carver
Municipal Judge Barrett Pierce for
breaking MBS Constitution Rule
204.50.
The rule uses vague wording, banning “citizens from violating the rules
of common courtesy and decency in
their relations with each other.”
Upon reading the word of the law,
Lee would not be shaken.
“Alright, I’m going to win this case,”
Lee said.
As a student enrolled in the MBS
Law School, Lee is still deciding if he
will represent himself or if he would
seek outside counsel. Either way, he
plans to seek counsel within Lewis.
Before the vote nominating Lee
for his candidacy, he claimed that the
alleged crime was committed not in a
sense of malice, but rather so the dedicated citizen could learn the judicial
process first-hand.
Election polls for county positions
will open today before breakfast and
close right before lunch. Citizens of
Lewis and Clark will know from those
elections if Barton County will employ
Lee, MBS 2016’s first criminal, as an
assistant municipal judge.

SENATE, HOUSE CONVENE
Debate ensues over state unity

During Monday’s senate meeting, some officials were asked
questions about what their citizens wanted them to push for,
what they are concerned about
and what bills they are trying to
pass.
S e n . St e p h e n Wi n d e r
(N-Clark) said his city wanted
to push for a Business Freedom
Pro Start Tax, which would
make it so businesses would not
be taxed for the first two days
of their business, so they could
have time to build up.
“I want a friendship with
Lewis, to partner with them and
their businesses for joint commerce,” Winder said.
Many Missouri Boys State
citizens are concerned about
the government being two split
parties and not a unified state.
Sen. Ryan Murphy (F-Carver)
said the senate proposed a bill
to improve efficiency of the
house and senate. Sen. Spencer
Owens (N-Whitfield) agreed.
“Our biggest issue since we
are the minority party, we are
looking for a strong sense of
bipartisanship between both
parties for the benefit of all
Boys State,” Owens said. Senators are cooperating to improve
and fix this issue.
Many senators voiced that
their citizens are concerned
about the thefts at MBS, such as
flags and personal items.
“Citizens should not be vandalizing other citizens’ property, but there is no law existing to solve the problem and
enforce it, and that needs to be
changed,” Sen. Austin Moulder
(N-Carnahan) said.
Senators were very enthusiastic and said that they would
get to know their citizens’ concerns better, so they could present their concerns to the senate
and hopefully fulfill the wishes
of the citizens of their cities,
and MBS as a whole.
Diversity discussed
BY ANDREW FALLMAN
BLAIR
Monday marked the first
session of the Missouri Boys
State House of Representatives, and it began by discussing potential legislation.
Majority Whip Brooks
Casel (F-Carver) identified a weakness in the MBS
Constitution, saying “there’s
no anti-discrimination policy in place.” Casel seeks to
create a more inclusive environment at MBS by ensuring protections for citizens
based on race, ethnicity, religion, regional origin, sexual orientation and gender
identity.
In a bipartisan discussion of this bill, a Nationalist
representative described the
policy as “common sense.”
Religious diversity was a
focus of the discussion after
another Nationalist pointed
out a low number of citizens of the Muslim faith.
However, Casel emphasized
this was what made his bill
so important, letting future
citizens know they are welcome at MBS.

Before his Major League Baseball career, White molded his skills
at the Ewing Kauffman Innovative
Baseball Academy. He made his
MLB debut on June 12, 1973. White
played second base for the Royals,
where he earned eight Gold Glove
awards, with six of those being in
consecutive years. He was part of
the 1985 World Series Championship team. In 1995, White was
inducted into the Royals Hall of

retired.
Since then, he has been involved
in many organizations such as the

Kansas City’s Medicine Cabinet,
Key Coalition and the Salvation

On Jan. 11, Frank was selected
to serve as the Jackson County
Executive. He currently resides in
Lee’s Summit with his wife Teresa.
After he was elected, White said
he thought opportunity plus hard
work equals success. White said
he would have never imagined he
would have so much more success in his life but he is an achiever
and felt that when the opportunity
comes up, it’s his duty to step up.
Out of all his firsts, White said
his favorite first was winning the
1985 World Series. Finally, White
said that you can’t beat playing on
a team of that caliber.

Crime a distraction
from important work

Feats of strength continued with the 77th session of Missouri Boys State yesterday.
Pershing continues winning streak
BY KALEB WHEELER
CARVER
JACOB DAVIS
CROWDER
In past years at Missouri Boys
State, athletics have always been
a big part of the experience.
Last session, Pershing took
top honors in the athletic competition with an overall score
of 180, after sweeping a total of
45 points just on the Wednesday of the session. Weyer
finished second in the rankings with 175 points, followed
by Boone with 145 points,
Crowder with 135 points, and
a three-way tie for fifth place
between Carver, Doniphan
and Lewis with 130 points
each. During the 2013 session
of MBS, there was a three-way
tie for top athletic honors —
Carver, Ingle and Richardson
all scored 155 points.
The athletic competition for
the 77th session of MBS kicked
off Monday. The first game of
ABA basketball was a contest
between Pershing and Carver.
The game started with a tight
score, but Carver closed the gap
and ended up behind by four
points at the end of the first half.
From there, Pershing seemed to
have locked up a victory and
was ahead by ten points with
six minutes on the clock. Carver
got back in the game after scoring two 3-pointers and managed to bring the scoring gap to
just two points, but ran out of
time. Pershing was able to move
the ball and make two defensive
stops to hold the lead and take
the first victory of the week.
As the sun rose on the third
day of Missouri Boys State,
rumors were flooding the
streets. Most of these reports
seemed to center around one
theme — flag theft.
You just had to sit down
with any group of your fellow
citizens or attentively listen to a
city meeting, and the conversation would have undoubtedly
turned to new reports of “who
stole whose flag.”
Apparently, even this early
in the week, citizens have not
shied away from committing
felonies against their fellow
citizens. Rumors of Kohn,
Carver, Crowder, Doniphan
and Pershing flags being tampered with were well known
across campus.
Crime was beginning to dig
in as a major talking point for
future elections until Sunday’s
lunch. MBS Dean of Counselors Dale Wright had a few
words to say about crime at
MBS, including flag theft and
beverage theft.
“Behavior like this will not
be tolerated … We’re going to
have a great rest of this week,
gentlemen,” Wright said.
And we will, if we show
each other and the program the
respect deserved by all.

BLAIR
CARNAHAN
BY ZACH MCCONNELL
BY TIM STREMLAU
BLAIR
DONIPHAN
Federalist Garrett Illa won
the Sunday mayoral election
in Blair.
When asked about how he
was feeling after his first day
in office, Illa replied “How do I
feel? Frankly, gassy. That pizza
I had for dinner didn’t sit well.
But I’m working through it. I’ve
got a great supporting staff and
I’m excited for the week.”
Illa acknowledged he had
high aspirations for Blair, and
that he had to complete some
gritty work before those goals
could be achieved. “We must
get the budget done. Without
the budget, we can’t do anything else. The budget is the
first priority.”
Led by Illa, Blair held its first
city council meeting Monday
morning. After minimal arguing, a draft of the budget was
created and the council came to
a quick agreement on a progressive tax policy with three different income brackets.
Citizens earning $50 BSB or
less have a 13 percent income
tax, those earning $50-$100 BSB
have 16 percent income tax, and
those earning over $100 BSB
have a 20 percent income tax.
Blair also has a sales tax of 5
percent for local citizens and 10
percent for all visiting citizens.
When the topic moved of
business taxes, Illa took a stand
for small businesses.
“I want Blair to be a business friendly town. We need
to be focused on growing our
economy and being a safe haven
for businesses. I propose a low
business tax,” Illa said.
The city council took that
one step further and elected to
eliminate the business tax completely and institute a “Blair City
Business Permit.”
A site for issuing permits
has yet to be determined, but
permits will cost $50 BSB. The
council briefly discussed city
employee salaries, the jury
selection process, and the prospect of opening a county sponsored casino before adjourning.
Blair citizen Sam Riggs was
very impressed with Illa and
the city council’s progress. “I
thought the meeting was very
organized. The council did a
great job making decisions and
finding solutions. It’s obvious to
see that Garrett is a great leader
and a great mayor. I think we
definitely made the right choice
in choosing Garrett,” Riggs said.
Seth Gibson was called to
assume his mayoral position
because he feels he is a true
leader. He loves to get people
excited about the Missouri Boys
State program.
His main aim as he moves to
fulfill his duties as mayor is to
engage citizens who are unsure
of their position within the
state, which he can accomplish
by building up citizen excitement about acquiring the Government Surplus Outlet.
Gibson will look to secure
economic control at MBS since
citizens will need to trek to Carnahan to purchase campaign
supplies. Like any good mayor,
he wants to win Model City at
the end of the week, and is very
confident about doing so.
CARVER
BY TYE GADDY

Carver made great advancements by establishing its ordinances. Carver enacted a $30
BSB tax per bed being used per
day. The city council also set the
sales tax at only 5 percent after a
few citizens objected to the original sales tax plan of 10 percent.
In the middle of the city council meeting, the highway patrol
returned Carver’s stolen flag. In
commemoration of the reunion
of Carver and its flag, Mayor
Sai Allu took a picture with the
highway patrol with the flag in
his hand. Carver continued the
meeting and established the salaries of all government occupations within the city.
CLARK
BY JAMESON KING
CLARK
The city councilmen of Clark
met Monday to decide on the
budget and basic needs of the
city. They voted to set a onetime property tax at $150 BSB
per person and a sales tax at
10 percent.
The councilmen also talked
about salaries, ordinances and
the locations of their police station and courtroom.
Newly-appointed Mayor
Dillon Lineman ran the meeting. Lineman is from Carrollton and ran for mayor
because he wanted to learn the
skills that the mayor position
required and apply those back
in his hometown.
BOONE

CROWDER
BY TIERNON RIESENMY
CROWDER
Boone’s city council held a
meeting yesterday morning to
discuss city business. The council got a lot done, including a
vote on their preamble. Seven
out of the nine voters voted in
favor of the proposed preamble.
The main focus during the
meeting, however, was the
municipal budget and expenses.
The largest expense seems to
be salaries for the city workers. The city council set the
starting salary at $100 BSB for
elected officials, but there was
debate for everyone else. Originally, the city council thought
all other city workers should be
paid $50 BSB, but the appointed
chiefs thought they deserved
more. The city council ultimately decided that the appointed
chiefs would be paid $75 BSB,
and all other workers would be
paid $50 BSB.
Boone’s mayor is Reid Davis,
originally from Butler. His
plans for the week include winning Model City, bringing his
staff, including the city fireman and policeman to the best
of their potential, and having a
great week.
Mayors across Boys State conducted their first city council
meetings yesterday. Among
them was Crowder Mayor
Maddox Dawkins. Dawkins
is from Independence and
has been a national qualifier
in debate. His other accomplishments include serving as
trumpet section leader and
team leader for the Youth
Adv is or y C ounci l. When
asked for his leadership inspiration, Dawkins responded
with an admiration for Otto
von Bismarck.
On Monday, Maddox took
charge of a passionate group
of city councilmen. Before the
meeting began, he outlined
what needed to be accomplished. After he and the rest of
the council went through a city
council run off election, they
deliberated on a very important
decision — the city’s endorsement for governor.
Two citizens threw their
hat into the ring: Seth Moeller
and Ama’Zing Seawood. Both
Moeller and Seawood had been
politicking from the very begin-
ning, professing their desires to
run since day one. The day of
reckoning has begun for both.
First to provide a speech was
Seawood. Carrying a confident
stage presence and an energetic
demeanor, Seawood defined
himself as a go-getter and a
doer. Seawood ended his speech
with a campaign slogan, “make
Boys State Ama’Zing.”
Moeller then strolled to the
stage. As he began his speech,
Moeller expressed some humility. He stated that he did not
have such an interesting name
as Seawood or a clever campaign slogan to match it, but he
expressed his confidence in his
leadership capabilities and his
ideas for the city.
The decision was put to an
anonymous vote, and the candidates anxiously waited. The vote
decided that Crowder would
endorse Seawood. Both candidates showed great sportsmanship when they shook hands
and exchanged kind words following the decision.
Following the excitement of
the gubernatorial endorsement,
the Council handled the formation of the charter and the
budget with care. The council
deliberated over the diction of
the charter, ensuring a fair and
equal charter and a great focus
on suitable salaries.
The first Crowder city council meeting proved to be comprised of passionate and considerate people, who put the needs
of the group above all. The rest
of the week should bring more
challenges to Crowder, but no
doubt they will respond intelligently and thoughtfully.
DONIPHAN
BY KEVIN CURRY
DONIPHAN
There was a lot to talk about in
Doniphan’s city council meeting
on Sunday. This was a day for
making decisions.
Topics of discussion included the city budget, property
taxes, a city park program, a
business ‘marketplace’ form, city
revenue plans, wages for city
government positions and business tax plans.
A proposed budget plan of
$35 BSB per filled bed every night
will be required. This would be a
flat tax for all city citizens. The
council discussed tax-based
wages for all city employees.
The council took business
tax plans very seriously and
decided on proposals for a flat
5 percent tax from income.
This 5 percent tax rate would
be implemented on the second
day of the business’ presence in
the city. The first day would be
a reduced two percent to help
kickstart the businesses’ profits.
Various city revenue plans
were thrown around, including
a city park plan, discussion for
a marketplace ‘hub’ in the center of Doniphan and a simple
fine instead of jail time for felonies. The city courtroom location was also decided upon and
Municipal Court Clerk Cooper
Short will reside there now.
Leading this meeting was
the newly elected mayor Jared
Joel “J.J.” Simon. Hailing from
O’Fallon, Simon has an undeniable presence at the front of the
room. A kind and understanding smile is one of his defining
features, and his drive motivates
his city to be more. Simon has
big plans for Doniphan, and he
knows the path the city must
take to achieve its goals.
“We must recognize our
differences as individuals to
achieve our goal of Model City,”
Simon said. “Every job is important, all jobs are necessary.”
As the mayor of Doniphan, Simon’s goals are to make
the city beautiful, instituting
the office of Health Commissioner (Joey Cascone) and two
assistant health commissioners
(Alex Haag and Luke Vollenweider).
“Make it look pristine, like
nobody lives there,” Simon said,
speaking of room cleanliness
and organization.
Simon also encouraged the
development and growth of
businesses in Doniphan.
“I want people to see
Doniphan as a metropolis of
business,” Simon said. “This
is how we get people to talk
about Doniphan, get our name
out there.”

DUGGAN
The mayor of Duggan is Jonas
Daniel Miller of Jefferson City.
When asked why he ran for
mayor, Miller said he wanted to
hold an office in which he could
work closely with citizens and
connect with them on a personal level.
Miller said he does not have
higher aspirations in politics
and would rather work one on
one with citizens. In his personal life, Miller plans to work
toward a career in the medical
field as a doctor. Miller said
though Duggan might have a
something of a bad history, he
wants the citizens of his city to
put the past aside and welcome
everyone equally.

Meet John “John John” Hunter.
He was nominated as Gambrel’s
Nationalist candidate for mayor
and later beat out the federalist
candidate for the position. As
mayor, Hunter is content with
his job and wants to help everyone accomplish what they want
to do.
Under newly appointed
Mayor Hunter’s leadership,
Gambrel held their first city
council meeting yesterday. The
mayor first established ground
rules for meetings, such as the
current speaker must be wearing the appointed speaking hat,
and breaking this rule results
an initial warning then fines for
further violations. Hunter also
established that the mantra for
the meeting would be “synergetic beautification.” At the top
of the itinerary was creating the
budget for the city. The council
planned to implement the following taxes: a 15 percent daily
flat income tax, 5 percent daily
city business profit tax on top
of the state mandated business
tax, $100 BSB nightly property tax divided by the number
of room occupants, and a $10
BSB one-time tax for business
owners. With the money made
from taxes, the city will pay all
citizens holding political positions a salary of $65 BSB. The
council ended the meeting by
discussing rough drafts of different ordinances that they will
disclose at a later date.

in the city would be charged
a $10 BSB fee. The tax on the
income of the business was set
at 5 percent each day the business makes money. The last
thing the council discussed was
the salaries of all individuals
working for the city, which will
be paid per day.
The mayor himself, as well
as some of the other council
members, said they would work
for no pay at all to have more
money for the city because their
paychecks come out of the taxes

Lewis had a productive first city
meeting lead by Mayor Ward

notably, the meeting established a full tax policy, including
income and property taxes, and
a unique disciplinary procedure.
According to Reynolds,
“Rehabilitation is always better than punishment,” so rather
than establishing a jail, wrongdoers will be required to complete community service.
The meeting primarily

Caleb O’Donnell is the proud
citizen elected mayor of Richardson for the duration of the
77th session of Missouri Boys

Nationalist Party and has stated
that he is very excited to have
been selected as mayor of his
city. He said he is surrounded
by many people he likes, and he
loves the “hype-train” that has
been created.
His plans as mayor are to
promote unity, appoint his
officials and to take care of his
city. He plans to get his budget approved quickly, promote beautification of the city
and plan out the city park.
O’Donnell is also enthusiastic
about the thought of a city song.
Richardson is one city in
which citizens should use caution. On Monday morning, the
city council met to plan a budget, which includes a toll fee
for using the entrance near its
meeting area. This fee, as discussed by the council members is set at $30 BSB each time
someone passes through the
city. The Richardson city council also proposed a city budget.
In addition to the toll fee, the
city council set a property tax
for living in the city at 6 percent per day for a one-person
room, 4.5 percent for a twoperson room, and 3 percent for
a three-person room. On top of
this, income tax was set to be
progressive. If income is from
$0-30 BSB, tax is 3 percent of
income; $31-70 BSB of income
results in a 6 percent tax; $71100 BSB of income results in a
10 percent tax; and every $50
BSB above $100 BSB will add 2
percent to the tax. The fee for
paying taxes late or not submitting taxes is $75 BSB.
The city council also discussed businesses during the
meeting and decided that citizens wishing to open a business

There was much debate
