Don't they have a deputy major in this town? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.8.188.229 (talkcontribs) 13:42, 11 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Not surprising

[edit]

This is a town in the same state that elected a dead man as their Senator back in 2000. Governor Mel Carnahan died in a plane crash, but went on to be elected over the incumbent, John Ashcroft. Contrary to the state constitution Carnahan's wife was then made the Senator in his place--dead people are not actually permitted to win elections in Missouri, at least at the state level. Just shows how little the American electorate actually pays attention to what/whom they are voting for. --King ravana (talk) 16:40, 17 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

only dead politicians should be elected.thus absolutely honest,caring people will rule.give the current incumbents the option to bring their status to the new requirements.to be fair. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.171.196.146 (talkcontribs) 01:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)Reply
