Ed Robb – who was beat by Chris Kelly in November 2008 after spending more money than has ever been spent on a State House Race – has filed as the lone Republican for Boone County Presiding Commissioner.

Simply put,  it would be disastrous to the prosperity of our county to allow Ed Robb a seat at the County Commission.   This is, after all, a man who voted to keep his taxpayer funded healthcare while taking healthcare away from 24,000 Missouri children.   And the same Ed Robb who sent a campaign mailer from his official office a month out of election day.   The same Ed Robb who voted to eliminate Gay/Straight Alliances in Missouri’s high schools.

And the same one who proposed funding our schools with an income tax he supports scrapping, and would’ve cost Columbia Public Schools $30 million.

Ed Robb, rather than jumping in for this race,  waited to clear the primary field in a series of back room conversations before putting his name in the hat.  It seems like Ed Robb’s definition of leadership is to do the right thing,  as long as it won’t hurt.

Ed Robb – Wrong for the 24th District, Wrong for Boone County.
