Letter: Schilling's latest mailing ticked off this voter
|
What really ticked me off about that Bobby Schilling "newsletter" was his absolute arrogance. " He" built his house single-handedly, or that's what he'd like people to believe. What exactly were his father and brother doing there? I knew his father Hank, for 40 years and was in the same business and we were good friends, so that business about building his own house, just rankles me. And really, how many kids? Now that's arrogance. He wants people to think he had that kind of time? Gerry Leonard, Rock Island
