Why is "Republican" Marc Boldt taking money from Tom Mielke's opponent?

(FULL DISCLOSURE: NO candidate or campaign or anyone involved or in any way concerned with any candidate or campaign was aware of or approved or had input into this post.

Further, Marc Boldt is my brother in law, and I worked for him as his legislative assistant for 6 years while he was in the state house.)

I know that Marc Boldt has never supported Tom Mielke for election to the county commission.  After all, he endorsed Steve Stuart when Mielke ran against Stuart back in the day and they're polar opposites on the CRC scam issue: Boldt slavishly supports it, defending the downtown mafia position while Mielke has steadfastly opposed the rip off.  And Marc simply can't have that.

Both Stuart and Betty Sue Morris endorse Marc for re-election; both are democrats, both are (or were) commissioners.  Like is going to support like.

As a result, Marc seems to have taken a peculiar delight in throwing Tom under the bus on a frequent basis: the lie wherein he stated to the rag:

If he and Stuart didn’t work out compromises, he said, “We’d never get anything done.”

As if he couldn't work with Mielke, his fellow Republican.

But imagine my surprise when Marc invited Tom's opponent, Joe Tanner, to one of his fund raisers a few days ago.  And imagine my surprise when he took money from him.

Nope... it's not a lot of money.

But that's really not the point, is it?

Should Marc be funded by Tom's political enemies?

I leave that judgment up to you.
