You do realize the current County Executive is under investigation and so unpopular he's not even running for re-election and the only reason he's the County Executive is because the previous County Executive is in prison.

And this is not even to mention the numerous mayors in the county who have been to prison.

You're some good comedy relief though.

County residents don't realize these things. It's a feature of fragmentation. You don't have to take any ownership of stuff that happens in the other fragments.

Current county executive is facing multiple felonies

The one before him went to prison for multiple felonies

The st.charles prosecutor had to resign for stalking a judge and getting a DUI

Riverview mayor just got arrested for sexually assaulting a minor

Megan Green kicks off reelection campaign in St. Louis

Should be an interesting race. I'm sure a more moderate dem candidate will enter the race also. Not that they're more moderate but I could also see Oldenburg, Sonnier, and Clark Hubbard stepping up to the race. 

I don’t see Oldenburg doing it. He’s got 4 kids that aren’t in high school yet and it’s a huge pay cut from his US Bank job

Sonnier won’t cross Green. Browning will run
