His contributors included former U. S. Senator John Danforth, long a supporter of Schweich, and some of the top GOP contributors.

So a local wealthy business man, who is a staunch antigovernment supporter, provides a six figure donation to this guy, but it in no way influenced his decision to come and continue to stall our community's progress.

ReplyDeleteSince when is an audit of government a bad thing? And exactly what did it stall? More fraud?
It seems to me there is some politics involved here and big money of course, regardless of the audit. Transparency is goodbut it seems this has some political collusion and aspiration to it.
