Open and Honest—Here’s some Documents—Another Open Letter (email) to the Pope County JPs

Perception is everything

Right now there are a lot of people have whose perception is that there is something wrong in Pope County and Russellville.  And many of them are pointing squarely at the Quorum Court and the Russellville City Council.

Is their perception right?  I don’t know.

My perception is that there were forces behind the 2020 elections that resulted in a significant change in the Quorum Court membership.  I do not believe that the successful candidates won solely on their own merits.

That election was not an anti-casino vote—in my perception.  A lot of the people who were voting were voting against an overly complex set of bond initiatives.  Many of those same people probably also voted for the candidate who was against the bonds.

Documents relating to 2020 Candidates
 

A number of documents were graciously shared with me so that I could share them online.  I could have just linked them and shared them as I found them.  However, I carefully went over them and redacted private addresses and phone numbers.  I didn’t redact any information related to businesses.  If a business happens to share the same information as a private residence, that’s life.

I make no judgment on any of these.  They are what they are.

Sincerely,
Mike Goad (Dover out)
