In a recent expose', the Marion City Council finds themselves in big trouble. The City Council President and real estate partner Ralph Cumston representing the 1st Ward, have been found to owe over $50,000 in real estate taxes and $10,000 in utility fees due to the City. Adding to the drama is the fact that the Prosecutor who is responsible for enforcement of these liens is related to the City Council President! But wait, there's more..... The Chair of the Democratic Party in Marion is also related to the City Council President. Marion TV Channel 22 is still investigating the situation.
The City Council President is running head-to-head with Libertarian Spencer Phelps. Angela Williams is running at-large in Marion, but her incumbent opponent is not named in any investigations so far, but that is likely to change. Her opponent sits on the City Utility Committee and may well have knowledge of wrongdoings.
The political season never seems to rest, at least in Marion!
