Burger King Corporate, based in Miami, Florida, says that the owners of five Missouri Burger King locations have breached their franchise contracts.
Two O'Fallon Burger King restaurants are among the five owned by Joseph R. Gunther and Vicki Gunther that are the target of a lawsuit by Burger King Corporate. The case was filed on Jan. 28 in Miami, Florida where the Burger King corporate offices are located. The lawsuits state that the two O'Fallon locations—609 S. Main and 2882 Hwy. K—failed to make franchise payments. The monthly payments, which are a percentage of the restaurant's gross sales, cover advertising, promotions and the "use of the Burger King System and the BK Marks." Those marks include the Burger King and Whopper names as well as logos, symbols and slogans. Burger King Corporate notified the restaurants of their breach of agreement on Oct. 24, 2012 and ended the …

At issue is whether Vicki Schneider owed trash or water and sewer fees on three properties that she owns in O'Fallon.
Vicki Schneider, the Ward 5 O'Fallon City Council candidate who was booted off the ballot in January after officials failed to certify her candidacy, has filed a lawsuit against O'Fallon City Clerk Pam Clement in efforts to get her name back on the ballot. Schneider, a realtor and former state representative, says Clement refused to certify her candidacy based on an incorrect opinion that Schneider was behind on paying utility bills for properties she owned. Clement, on Jan. 22, sent a final list of candidates to the Election Authority and said she could not certify Schneider—or Jim Reiter, another Ward 5 candidate—because of section 115.346 of the Revised Missouri State Statues, which states that "persons in arrears for municipal taxes or…

A U.S. Court of Appeals ruling could lead to dismissal of a Westboro Baptist Church lawsuit against St. Charles County, officials said. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit overturned a lower court’s ruling against a City of Manchester ordinance that protects the rights of funeral attendees “to mourn in peace and privacy for a limited time in a limited space.” The court concluded “that Manchester has shown a significant government interest in protecting the peace and privacy of funeral attendees for a short time in limited space.” “This is a great, common-sense decision,” said St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann in a news release. “We’re confident it lays the groundwork for the case against St. Charles County to be …

His attorney says, "This issue has not been finally resolved" moments after the county Republican Central Committee member beat a trespassing charge.
After being acquitted of trespassing charges at the March 17 St. Charles County Republican Caucus, Brent Stafford said he felt vindicated, but sorry he had to go through the trial to begin with. “It was not my actions that put me in this position,” said Stafford, a St. Charles County Republican Committee member. “It was the actions of Eugene Dokes and Bryan Spencer that put me in this position. They didn’t follow the rules.” Stafford blames Dokes, St. Charles County Republican Central Committee chairman, and Spencer, a former committee member, with trying to control the caucus’ outcome and prevent a large group of Ron Paul supporters from controlling the meeting. Dokes had said he was trying to be fair to all those who came to the caucus …
