According to the News-Leader, two opponents of Missouri’s Merit Selection plan are taking that old adage to heart.  Although John Gentry and Sally Hargis opposed the campaign to bring Merit Selection to Greene County, MO this year, they each applied to serve on the Greene County nominating commission.  Governor Matt Blunt appointed Ms. Hargis to the local commission, but asked Mr. Gentry to serve on the appellate court nominating commission.  Mr. Gentry agreed.

It’s interesting that despite their opposition to the system, these individuals will now become part of it.  We wonder whether this will change their perceptions about how the system works.  If not, will they continue to condemn a system of which they are an integral part?
