Panic at the Schultz Camp!

Panic at the Schultz Camp!
Local GOP Leadership Should Distance Themselves from Commissioners Robinson and Schultz
Opinion and Political Commentary by Jonathan P. Glassel

Rumors abound about an all too close relationship between Commissioners Robinson and Schultz while a cover up of a possible 2006 arrest of Commissioner Robinson for drunken driving looms, ever closer, on the horizon. Either of these could spell disaster for local Republicans.

Robinson refuses comment on the issue, while Sheriff Rivard denies any knowledge of the DUI issue. As such, we take Rivard at his word. If the DUI rumor proves to be true, we must assume it happened in another county or state.

Robinson is convinced his enemies possess a picture of himself and Commissioner Schultz in a “compromising” position. Whether or not this picture actually exists is unimportant.

The fact that Robinson thinks it exists is substantial circumstantial evidence of an all too close relationship between two of the most powerful persons in Chisago County.

Much is at stake for the local GOP this election season. Distancing themselves from Robinson, Schultz and their “Mafia style” campaigns would seem prudent.
