BILL CORRIGAN

“About 40,000 jobs have been lost in the county since Charlie Dooley took office”, said GOPer and attorney Bill Corrigan, who hopes to beat Dooley at the polls in the race for county executive.  “Furthermore, there’s no entrepreneurial atmosphere to promote small business and growth.  Our current county government is incompetent and broken. There’s also an unfair tax system.  Since Dooley took office, the violent crime rate has gone up 30 percent. In the county’s own application for $8.5 million for federal funding, earmarked for a new crime lab, it reveals that 25 percent of the crimes in St. Louis county have remained unsolved.”  Corrigan, a yesteryear worker on a GM assembly plant, a MoDot trash picker-upper and a Teamster, who loaded pickup track lift trailers, paid his own way through Notre Dame. His wife, Ann, is a lawyer, who teaches in the pre-law program at SLU’s undergrad school.  Over coffee at First Watch, Corrigan concluded, “I’d love a debate with Dooley on issues of leadership and vision.  If he’s transparent, he’ll debate.”
