Darlene, how you know is you click on the "Active Users" title on the main page of the forums, right above the list of everyone who's on. That takes you to a screen that shows where everyone is - whether they're looking at a particular thread, etc. It also shows when someone is replying to a post or quoting a post. Kinda cool, huh?
Thank you very much vraiblonde, yes it is cool!

If Tommy McKay tried to post a reply (which I don't think he did), he should have tried harder! Personally, I think Mr. McKay came here to read what was being said...he doesn't have the guts to reply.

Well, he did.

As Cari stated earlier, she saw him replying and I also saw him in the active users as posting a reply to this thread. Perhaps he should have tried harder.

Mr. McKay should have made it a point to reply...since we know he visited this thread. It has proven that Tommy McKay doesn't have what it takes to be President of the Board of County Commissioners!

I don't know about all that but I do agree that it would have been a great opportunity for him to address these allegations. Hmmmmm.....

Please tell me why Mr. McKay would want to run anyway. He must know that his involvement with the family business would become an issue. If he could steal from the family, what would he do to the county ?? Would he use his position if elected, to further his business dealings and become wealthy; as so many have done before ? I think so.

Well, to be fair, at this point the whole thing is only gossip and rumor. I'm not ready to make an indictment of McKay based on that. I would love to have him publicly address this issue and lay it to rest.

It would be a shame for him to get blown away on election day because of county gossip. That doesn't seem very fair to me.

That question was posed to Tommy at the Tuskers breakfast meeting. He went pale jaw to the floor he looked to his dad and asked his Dad if he knew what they were talking about.

People should know that this is a long time democrate family. It is amazing to me how a family who has always been democrates could easily turn their back on their party on the last day of registration to run for public office and register as a republican. MMM wonder what his voting card says.

I am very much a novice at this political stuff. But if he changed party afiliations on the last day to register for a candidate, can you do that and still stay a registered democrate? Either way it doesn't matter now...

I know a fair number of folks who have changed their party affiliation over the last 10 years, as each election approched. That's usually what reminds them to do so.

If STMLADY was not there, I can assure you that I was. The reaction was as described. Additionally, both he and his father were shut down, when the father was reminded of a conversation on the matter with the individual asking the questions. As you can see from the election results, St Mary's senior voters are unaware of moral aspects of well known families, or do not care. The result is the same. State Senator Dyson is another case along the same lines. He is well liked by the seniors, but is ineffective for the county.

Hey now! I like Dyson. One of the few Dems that I do like. He's pro 2nd amendment, which is EXTREMELY rare for a dem.
