IS RASH SNUBBING PAULA GISH?

Rick Rash is having his first political rally and he has invited several politicians. However, missing from his list of officials is Deputy County Judge Paula Gish. I feel certain that was not an oversight - it was intentional. Yes, she is not an elected official but neither is Stan Clark.

However, Clark and Gish have one thing in common. They are both announced candidates for the office of County Judge. If Judge Murner appears at the function some will assume that he is supporting both Rash and Clark, exactly the perception that Rash hopes people will have.

Rash surely knows that he needs all of the support that he can get, including one of his past contributors, Industrial Disposal. The fact that Rash is so brazen to invite them, even after supporting their fee increases on numerous occasions, reflects his gall.

Frankly, I am surprised that any politician seeking office would support Rash if they review his record on fee and tax increases. Oh well, as has often been said, politics makes for strange bedfellows.

I am sure that Paula Gish will understand why she was not invited when Thursday night comes and she is at home.
