According to the Southern, speaking about himself in the third person, Sheriff Kilquist said, "Bill Kilquist is the voters' boy."
He may soon have to choose whose "boy" he really is. Why won't (or can't) he confirm that he's running for state rep? What's he waiting for? Supposedly a couple dozen people heard him bragging about a meeting with M. Madigan, then suddenly... silence.
Maybe M. Madigan wasn't quite as encouraging as Sheriff Bill hoped he would be? Sheriff was also supposedly observed meeting with old-time pol Carl Maple. Did Maple tell him not to run? Would it matter? Maple's backed plenty of losers, so we're not sure what his opinions are worth.
A primary is expensive. Maybe M. Madigan decided the partys money would be better spent on the current candidate instead of on a primary. We here at MW remember that despite spending a boatload of money, Sheriff came in a distant second to Cheryl Graef, by a couple thousand votes. Is he worth gambling on now?
And of course his mentor, sponsor, guru, and partner-in-grime Mr. Brewer may have his own opinions about losing his closest ally before getting his son the Final Job.
Will Bill stay & be Brewer's boy? Run and try to be Madigan's boy? He's gotta make a decision soon, if it hasn't already been made for him.

ReplyDeleteKilquist merely got the attention he so much desires. He won't run for the position knowing he can't win. A defeat in any election would crucify his large ego.We should encourage him to run to get rid of him from the Logan Board but his chances are better running for a local political position to better himself or seeking a security job at Logan again. You can be sure he is using his "political b.s." to try and better himself and boost his ego! Not sure he is getting the "attention" he needs on the Logan Board of Trustees. He WOULD definitely fit right in belonging to the Illinois political lines;Dysfunctional!
