Did the politicians and voters ever consider that in order for Sam Page to return to his livelihood after being county executive he needs to maintain expertise in his field? Medicine, unlike most other fields, requires the practitioner to stay current and active. More importantly, was there ever a time when Page was unavailable to do his job because of his weekend or evening shift at the hospital? That was never mentioned in any print article I read, and I am a longtime subscriber to the paper. I believe this bill was completely political theater and unnecessary.
Shame on the people of St. Louis County and the Post-Dispatch Editorial Board for supporting a proposition clearly aimed at Page.
