Michael Ashcraft to Challenge for JOCO Commission

I think Michael Ashcraft gets it. I don't know the man but in my book he is off to the right start questioning why a part time position earns full time pay. I've been pointing this out since before Toplikar starting stealing signs.

Besides nearly $50,000 a year Johnson County Commissioners get nice benefits and perks like health insurance, car allowance, and cell phone which probably gets to a nice little sum for someone serving their fellow man......one day a week. Who wouldn't want that gig.......and you fly below the radar?

He seems to have a solid background in public administration and works with a firm, ETC Institute, that is a leading national firm for research for governments and municipalities. They often consult with candidates for office on the important issues to voters.......aka polling data. As a result you think Mr. Ashcroft might have a good angle on what 5th district voters want to hear? My early prediction is Doug Wood is a mister in trouble of losing his sweet 50K gig. Will we see another "Sign-gate" or other nasty political tricks the likes we saw from Lindstrom against Azeltine? We'll be watching.

I'll have to keep my eye on this race. He isn't in my district but it looks like a step in the right direction for the County Commission.
