Dennis Hancock: Sam Page Should Take the Off-Ramp Now Before This Felony Trial Destroys Everything He Has Left

The Marc Cox Morning Show gets St. Louis County 3rd District Councilman Dennis Hancock on the phone as the Sam Page trial status conference kicks off — and the picture is not pretty for St. Louis County's embattled executive. Page is facing two felonies and two misdemeanors for using taxpayer dollars and county staff to push political mailers on Prop B, and Hancock says every day that passes without a plea deal costs Page more money and more leverage. The smart move is obvious — resign, protect the medical license, take the off-ramp. But this is Sam Page, a man with an overly inflated ego who may drag this all the way to trial. If he goes, Council Chair Rita Days steps up as interim executive, Mark Harder becomes the first Republican council chair in memory, and St. Louis County finally gets a chance to breathe.
