My Dumbest Nominee: Chuck Boone

Would you hire someone who very publicly gave a "kiss my ass" to his former employer and their customers? What if that former employer was a city and their customers were citizens like you?

Well, that's exactly what ol' Chuck Boone wants you to do. He, who in the biggest drama queen fashion, quit his job as assistant public works director in the middle of a City Council meeting. With no notice. With all hubris.

That same Chuck Boone wants you to hire him as Democratic Committeeman for Midland Township. Now this is a person I've never seen work on a political campaign. He has also never given money to any campaign (based on records from both the Federal Election Commission and the Missouri Ethics Commission). Why the sudden interest in party politics? Maybe because the COGG and Dody faction hate Jeff O'Connell who currently holds the Committeeman position for Midland Township? Revenge and hate shouldn't be a reason for running for political office.

Thus, my nomination for Dumbest is Chuck Boone who thinks we would hire him for Dog Poop Collector after he unceremoniously sayanora'd his last job. Runner up is Womak--who aligns herself with such a Schmuck.

When you pull the campaign finance records for both Boone and his running partner, Rhonda Womack, the writing is on the wall who is behind these candidates. First, Dody has given the maximum contribution to each candidate. Then, there is Carol Hopkins (you know the poor lady who can't afford her property taxes). She has not only contributed to their campaigns, but is serving as the Treasurer of Womack's campaign. Like Boone, Womack has never been known to participate in Democratic politics on any level in the past. She is only on record as giving one contribution to a candidate--and that was AFTER she filed for the office.

It is not enough that the Dody-ites and COGGsters want to ruin the City of Overland. They want to ruin the Democratic Party too.

I say keep O'Connell and Strothcamp.
