MoDOT vs. County Road Care:

Democratic Megadonor:
Two bodies have been found on democratic megadonor Ed Buck’s property. Both men were found about 17 months apart and both were young black male escorts. If that’s not fishy enough, the cause of death in both was drug related. While it might seem like a coincidence, a diary was found that may point fingers at Ed Buck and not at drugs. The big question: Will anything ever be done?
