Candidate for Republican Committee Defends Democrat Candidate

In today’s News-Press, Republican Committee candidate Ellis Cross defends Democrat 29th District Representative candidate Ken Shearin by saying, ““I think Ken Shearin was good when you consider his hands were tied by the city manager.”
How can someone honestly represent the Republican Party if their heart is tied to a divisive Democrat?
We have yet to see who local Ken Shearin fanatics and self acclaimed conservatives Maggie Siegmund and Virginia Weigum will endorse for the 29th District. Will they endorse their close friend Democrat Ken Shearin
or the conservative Republican candidate, Galen Higdon?

    At the risk of sounding elementary I looked up the word “good” in the dictionary and found that it means what I said. It means among many things “sufficient or ample.” With that in mind I can live with what I said.

    Has someone forgotten the Jones years? In no way should the word “good” mean that “my heart is tied” to Ken Shearin or any other Democrat. Since my heart is not tied to any Democrat I am free to honestly represent the Republican Committee.

    I wonder if the author has his heart tied to city manager, Vince Capell?

    I do not consider myself to be a “local Ken Shearin fanatic”. I do feel that no mayor has a chance to change anything as long as the city manager’s position controls the legal and finance departments.

    The city charter needs to be changed so that the legal and finance departments answer only to the city council. This way the council can avoid the thirty eight pages of illegal actions and improper accounting methods found by the Missouri State Auditor.

    I have known Galen Higdon for many years and welcome the opportunity to vote for him.
