I think Bob Odom should have been gone long ago as the head of this office.
Let's hope
voters will make that change this time. Odom's challengers include Strain, a
state
representative who is a veterinarian and cattle rancher, and Councilman
Wayne Carter, a
businessman. I met with both and heard about their backgrounds and reasons
for running.
Since Carter is a Metro Council member, I have far more knowledge of his
past-and
that is not to his advantage. His actions and politics on the council have
been distasteful. I
can't ignore that when we are trying to get rid of Odom and his politics of
old. Strain has
been chairman of the rural caucus in the Legislature for two terms.
Interestingly, while
Strain and Carter are both Republicans (Carter switched parties this year),
congressmen
Jim McCrery and Charles Boustany, as well as Sen. David Vitter, have all
endorsed
Strain. Strain is also supported by the NRA and the Associated Builders &
Contractors.
Strain will get my vote.
