I waited two weeks because I wanted to see if the "illustrious" JoCo Post did anything with the story.
State Rep Owen Donohoe has retired. We wish him well in his retirement and thank him for his many years of service in Topeka on behalf of the citizens of Shawnee.
When a state rep does not finish their term, the precinct committeemen/women from that party elect the replacement who serves until the next election. Hopefully, Angela will choose to run for a full term as she would be a great advocate for the people of Shawnee.
As for the JoCo Post not covering this, yours truly approached their reporter last night after the city council meeting. Basically I was informed that their editor thought she might be running in the next election to replace Owen. Apparently they don't understand the system here in Kansas or they did not perform proper research. Or they don't like saying nice things about folks with a conservative philosophy.
Oh, they have just announced another rate increase for monthly subscribers....wheeeeee.
