Roger Bedford . . . What's up?

The nearly unanimous answer was, "He's a crook and we all know he’s worthless, but he's our crook, so everyone just keeps voting for him". I'm sorry, but I don't understand this logic. He has exposed himself nearly every time he speaks to his elicit connection to the AEA, his self serving criticism of ethics legislation, his refusal to support subpoena power for the ethics commission, his voting record of not passing any significant legislation on any issue, his funneling of money away from education and the general fund to insignificant and frivolous programs. What is going on? How does he keep getting elected?

Look at the big picture, tommy - or the big scoreboard. How does any of that stuff matter when Russellville has a brand new stadium?

Russellville's stadium was built in 1967 which makes it 42 years old. We just keep it updated. Roger wasn't even in high school yet. But that doesn't mean that he's not a crook. I have never voted for him.
