The Schnucks report


I ran into council candidate Dan David at the supermarket last night. He said there were not many people at the candidates' forum at Grace Methodist Church, but good questions were asked. Since I was ahead of him in line, and had to deal with the checker, I didn't notice what the 4-year-term candidate was purchasing. Such information might help you, the voter, decide if you want to vote for him. I was buying PapaNicholas Italian Espresso roast coffee (can you tell?) What was Dan David buying last night after the forum? It's time we knew.

Signs, more or less


I wasn't surprised to see Dan David at Schnuck's Friday night, because I saw a car parked in the lot with a magnetic
"Dan David for City Council" sign on the driver's and passenger's side doors. I see Dan's signs in many yards. His and Lance Jack's, and Sheila Simon's homemade ones, and Steve Haynes and "M." Stalls, and Wissman's and Fritzler's.

It may be that Brad Cole and Joel Fritzler are not the only two candidates to have their signs stolen. For some reason, there are no Mike Neill signs anywhere. Either the incumbent so confident that he doesn't need any, or every single one of his signs been stolen as well. Why would anyone steal a campaign sign from someone's yard? After the election it will be worthless, but the sign on Dan David's car will make an awesome refrigerator magnet.

Neill down in print


There's a profile of Mike Neillin today's Daily Egyptian.

It doesn't say Haynes...


Until the profile of Steve on Monday in the Daily Egyptian.
