    1. We will stay corrupt. Amazing that no one with a real college degree is running against John Morrissey and his fake college degree.

  3. Sam is following the legacy of the many executives before her. Running virtually unopposed until she doesn’t want the job. Jim Kreuser did just that.

    It seemed that she was vulnerable this year.
    Why a brave Republican didn’t mount a campaign is beyond me. Other than it’s a dirty thankless job.
