OBA Mayoral Candidate Q & A

The Overland Business Association (OBA) held what they called a question and answer session (not a debate) with the candidates for Mayor of Overland at their monthly meeting on July 19th, 2007.

Councilpersons Conlon and Schneider were in attendance. Councilperson Keller was absent (as she was from the LWV Mayoral Debate and the July 9th Council meeting). Though no reason was given for this, it is possible that Mrs. Keller continues to have health issues related to an ulcer (as reported in the Overland - St. Ann Suburban Journal). We have yet to hear from Councilperson Keller in regard to our Mayoral candidates list as well. We certainly hope she gets well soon. It would be unfortunate if she would have to back out of the race and possibly even resign from her seat on the Council due to this issue and the way it has been impacting her ability to do the job of Councilperson or campaign for mayor.

There were approximately 50-60 people in attendance, most of whom were OBA members and the went off without issue. We would like to thank the OBA and the candidates for allowing us to "tape" this event in order to provide the video to our readers.
