Misrepresent Moore and “All this is about is taxes”

In case you missed the news over the past few weeks Michael “Misrepresent” Moore, the self-proclaimed “community activist” and “government watch dog” targeting Kirkwood, filed yet another frivolous lawsuit against our City. Misrepresent Moore was suing the rest of us in Kirkwood over the funding of the new Memorial Walkway.

This latest lawsuit … just like Misrepresent Moore’s previous lawsuit was thrown out by the judge.

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

How many frivolous lawsuits has Misrepresent Moore filed or threatened to file against our community and our officials since he started targeting Kirkwood in 2005?

Here is an article from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (StLG-D) about the lawsuit:

Here is an important quote I want to bring to your attention from Misrepresent Moore in the article:

“Moore could not be reached for comment on Wednesday morning. He said last week that the suit is not about race, Cookie Thornton, or other issues. He said he was not trying to stop the building of the memorial and supports it. “All this is about is taxes,” he said.”

Are we really supposed to believe “All this is about is taxes” from Misrepresent Moore?

If “All this is about is taxes” … then why does Misrepresent Moore not appear to pay his personal property taxes in Kirkwood?

Let's look at the facts ...

I can not find a Michael B. Moore that has paid personal property taxes at his alleged address of 311 Attucks St., Kirkwood, MO. This is the address he used when he ran for Mayor and City Council in 2008. As an aside, I have never been able to find where Misrepresent Moore got an occupancy permit to be a renter at this residence which is required in Kirkwood.

I can not find a Michael B. Moore that has paid personal property taxes at his address of 10838 Big Bend Blvd., Kirkwood, MO. This is the address he has been using as a “registered voter” in Kirkwood. In addition, I can not find any personal property tax information for the person Misrepresent Moore shared the occupancy permit with at this residence. So, is anyone in the household paying personal property taxes for a car or other property?

The only place I can find personal property tax information for Michael B. Moore is at his old address in Creve Couer, MO. Please note it is three years of back taxes owed from 2005 through 2007:

So, from 2008 until now … where has Misrepresent Moore paid his personal property taxes on his car and any other personal property? Has he paid any taxes at all in our community?

Maybe it would help if Misrepresent Moore worked at being an actual tax-paying, productive member of our community … rather than pretending he is a “community activist” or a “government watch dog” and filing frivilous lawsuits.

Finally, I can only hope our local press will make sure they point out what Misrepresent Moore really is and has really done in Kirkwood, if they are going to let Misrepresent Moore continue "to play make believe" in their reporting.
