How does a 70 year old get a good paying government job like that? As far as I know Lane Roberts only claim to fame is he was at right place at the right time the joplin tornado when so many people were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Because they didn't want him on the school board. He is a good man, but why him out of all those to chose from in the state of Missouri.
