Political Briefs

political briefsTHOSE MISSING EMAILS - Congressman Lacy Clay may have a lot of work headed his way very soon.

A report released Monday by the House Oversight Committee found that the GOP email server used by White House Officials has not retained all of the emails sent through it. As some of the missing emails cover official business, the failure to retain those messages constitutes a breach of the Presidential Records Act.

The Information Policy, Census and National Archives Subcommittee, of which Clay is the chairman, oversees the Presidential Records Act.

political briefsVYING FOR VILLA'S SEAT - St. Louis Young Democrat Jake Hummel has announced that he will run for the 108th district seat of Rep. Tom Villa, who must vacate his seat due to term limits.

Hummel is an electrician with IBEW Local 1 and the Vice President of the St. Louis City Labor Legislative Club. His campaign's kick-off is at 5:30 PM this evening at the IBEW Local 1 Hall, 5850 Elizabeth Street.

political briefsKEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY - State Rep. Fred Kratky has announced that he will step down from his seat in the State House early, and that he wants his wife, Michele Kratky, to take his place.

His departing wish isn't necessarily a sure-thing, however, as Michele Kratky still needs to win the nomination of the Democratic party in order to have a chance to take her husband's former legislative position and finish his current term.

I hope Mrs. Kratky is more honest than her husband. His reputation at the capitol was less than stellar.

Michele has to be better than her husband. He has been the worst state rep we have had. He has co-sponsored legislation that he never read and didn't even know what it was about.

However, this sense of entitlement to the job is pretty troubling. I wish that someone else would run and at least make it a contest.
