Shouse
By: StaceyDiamond

I was involved a bit in the 2001 Knox Recall effort. Some on here were involved more. The media seems to have forgotten Ed Shouse was one of the councilmen they were tryng to get recalled. I forget what role Shouse played in the Ashe backroom deals. Someone should elaborate.

Shouse basically voted for whatever Victor told him to.

Probably

Probably driven by the Missy Mayfield affair, and/or the "special pension" deal the City Council passed for themselves (with Malone and Pavlis voting against, of course).

Did anyone notice the $500K the City had to add from their surplus to "beef up" their pension?

yep Shouse and Gary Underwood were/are the poster children for Yes Men. Does Shouse still work for Pete Claussen at the G&O Railroad or did they finally manage to get rid of him?
