Bailey Stober is still unqualified to hold the position of Kent City Council member.
Stober is still a 22-year-old high school dropout who would have you think he has a body of work and experience a 40-year-old would have.
Ms. Carol Barbers’ letter (“Examining 2 candidates for City Council,” Sept. 27, Kent Reporter) was quite amusing. She had me pegged as either Ken Sharp or Ken’s wife or another letter writer. I will not labor the absurdity of her ramblings.
But the icing on this cake is the letter from Melissa Musser, Des Moines City Council (“Stober is the right choice for City Council,” Kent Reporter, Oct. 4). She said that 42 other elected officials along with herself endorsed Bailey. I would have to question the merit upon which that endorsement was made. Who in their right minds would endorse a 22-year-old high school dropout for a position of City Council member? You would have me believe these 42 other people knew fully what they were doing? I am taking that long list and writing letters to each one to find out how that is possible?
But the real conspiracy theory here would deal with, “Why is a Des Moines City Councilmember wading into this Kent non-partisan race with an apparent partisan bend? I would consider very carefully the words used by Ms. Musser, stakeholder, you will find that word jumping out of Stober’s empty resume often.
