After all of the drama in the old hometown’s politics last Spring, when very capable hometown guy Joe Aull was fired as city administrator (and the mayor who engineered that disgraceful act was driven out of office, and also out of town altogether), I’m delighted that Mr. Aull decided to accept many citizens’ counsel and run for mayor (the office with the real power in that small Missouri town).
His opponent in this special election, whose name will appear on the ballot, is a complete idiot whose follies are well-known to me from the ’80s and ’90s when I took great interest in Lexington, MO municipal government (as well as Lafayette County, MO government). I wouldn’t vote for D____ G______ for Dogcatcher, even if that were an elective office.
Good luck, Joe!
