Boone County Clerk, and outspoken Tea Party activist, Kenny Brown passed away suddenly yesterday.
It did not take long for the jockeying to replace him to begin.
Vacancies in this position are filled by appointment of the County Judge-Executive, in this case long time Republican Judge Gary Moore. Moore and Brown were in different factions and know to verbally spar on occasion. So don’t expect someone currently in the clerk’s office to ascend to the position.
Rather, sources tell us that Senator John Schickel and Judge Moore have already had a conversation about the position.
If Schickel were to be appointed, it would significantly bump his pension, as the position would pay $100k annually.
