Interview with Circuit Clerk Candidate Jim Lee posted on the Web
Local blogger Jack, over at Fat Jack's Erratic Rants, did an interview with Jim Lee, local Democrat candidate for Circuit Clerk.
It looks to me that Republican incumbent Steve Helms will have his work cut out for him, that is, if voters learn about Jim Lee, especially in light of so many complaints about our court system in recent weeks (see the Brian Brown series in CFP, "Justice Delayed," July 2, July 16, and July 30 issues) Certainly, the Clerk's office plays a vital role in how efficiently and smoothly things run in our court system. I was really impressed with the answers Lee provided to Jack's questions.
Jack observed:
If you want to know more about the candidate running against Helms in the Circuit Clerk race, I'd recommend Jack's blog. Great questions, great answers.
It should probably be noted that Helms was not voted into his position. He was appointed by Governor Matt Blunt when the previous Clerk, Mike Carr, took an early retirement.

Jack observed:
"We have all heard stories about the backed-up court system and if the stories are true that the current office of the Circuit Clerk's is not working properly, then that will only serve to exacerbate the problem....
"In typical Lee fashion, his down-to-Earth perspective and attitude is exemplified in his quote: "I work hard, I work honest, and I don’t try to kid anyone."

Recommended Reading 16: Classics
Classic busplunge
This morning, Jim Lee gives us all some timeless advice and because he is very inciteful and philosophical-like, he answers a very important question for citizens of the Queen City:
When Is It Proper To Act Like A Two-Year-Old?
Springfield is blessed that Jim's
and enough time to tell us about them.
For more classics (or at least some of my favorites) see, this, this, this and this (that was hard, I kept thinking of another and another).
To be continued?
