"I'm pleased that this issue appears to be behind us," Glantz told Patch Friday.
Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz received a letter in the mail Thursday, confirming a July 13 decision by the Missouri Ethics Commission to dismiss a complaint filed against his election campaign by Ward 4 Councilwoman Jeanne Rhoades. The two-page, five paragraph letter does not lay out decisions on all of the aspects raised in the nine page complaint. It does say the following: It dismissed the allegation that he "concealed" his involvement in sending a mailer against his opponent in the Mayor's race, Laura Bryant, and that he concealed the employer of a campaign contributor. The MEC investigation said "there was no evidence that you knew the individual responsible for the negative mailer or had any knowledge of this mailer's distribution …

A complaint filed Thursday with the Missouri Ethics Commission alleged misrepresentations with regard to campaign finance disclosures and possibility of an attempt to deliberately confuse voters in Creve Coeur's Mayoral election last month.
In a telephone interview Monday morning Creve Coeur Mayor Barry Glantz addressed the ethics filed against him by Ward Four Councilwoman Jeanne Rhoades and defended his election campaign, first reported by Patch on Friday. Glantz said "When you hold public office, you're subject to all sorts of public scrutiny," adding that he has "nothing to hide" and will cooperate fully with any investigation by the Missouri Ethics Commission. In her complaint, Rhoades points to a problem with a $2,000 donation made by Garrick Hamilton, on behalf of 3G's Yogurt. Rhoades believes Glantz misrepresented Hamilton's primary employer since Hamilton is general counsel for the Koman Group, one of the area's largest developers and long a major player in Creve …

Barry Glantz is defending a letter of endorsement claiming Laura Bryant has "wasted valuable city resources by engaging in divisive political actions."
After a recent campaign appearance featuring both candidates running to be the next Mayor of Creve Coeur, Barry Glantz said someone came up to him afterward and told him "you sound like the same candidate." Now, a mailer sent to approximately 6,000 homes in Creve Coeur is trying to draw some distinctions between Glantz and his opponent, Laura Bryant. It is a letter signed by Mayor Harold Dielmann, five current city councilmembers, State Representative Jill Schupp and other former elected officials. In part, the letter reads as follows: Barry's opponent has a long history of being embroiled in controversy and turmoil. She has wasted valuable city resources by engaging in divisive political actions. It is our strong belief that Barry has the…
