auditor tom schweich is remembered

Political leaders past and  present…gathered in Suburban St. Louis yesterday for the funeral for State Auditor Tom Schweich. The list of those attending included former Senator and Governor Kit Bond, current Senators Roy Blunt and Clare McCaskill…and most of the Missouri Senate and house.

Schweich’s mentor…Senator John Danforth delivered a surprisingly candid  eulogy in which Danforth said he advised Schweich to stay out of politics because of Schweich’s thin skin the face of personal attacks in the media and among other members of the Republican party.
