Blunt Refuses To Speak With Press About Prop B, But He's Happy To Telegraph Position to Opponents

According to KOMU, "Roy Blunt turned down our requests for an interview. Neither his staff nor his website would state his views on the measure." Watch it:

Two Californians Filed Appeal in SWAT Raid:COLUMBIA - One of two California residents that filed appeals against the Columbia Police Chief's SWAT decision is in town.

"We filed them at the same time," Angela Bacca said. Bacca is Ed Rosenthal's assistant. Rosenthal is the other California resident that turned in an appeal.

When asked why she was here, "We want them to reopen the case. We don't want them to keep these officers exonerated."

Bacca is part of Green Aid, a medical and marijuana legal defense and education fund.

Police Chief Ken Burton met with Bacca on Monday. Bacca, earlier in the day, said she would discuss with the police chief what she hoped to get done -- to re-open the SWAT investigation. Bacca said, after the interview, that she felt like things went well during the meeting and that she thought the police chief would work with Columbia residents.

"The cops should be serving and protecting us, not humiliating and terrorizing us," Bacca
