OK, this is not an indictment (or endorsement) of Jim Allen.
This is an indictment of the sheer apathy bordering on stupidity of the citizens of Shawnee.
Jim Allen, is running for reelection as a county commissioner. He is running unopposed. Nobody, no matter how qualified, should ever run for political office unopposed. And, he even ran for mayor unopposed 3 out of the 5 times he ran for that office.
