Why on God’s green earth would Paul Ryan lie about his best marathon time? Every runner who’s ever participated in any kind of race remembers their best time – forever! Though I haven’t run a 10K in 20 years, my personal best was 48:28. My best 5K time was 24:01 in 2010.
Those results stick around on the Net as well! 
Along the same lines, why would KC GOP coroner nominee Rob Russell claim to have worked on 60+ homicide investigations, and on his latest handout, state he was a lead homicide investigator when that can be so easily disproved?
Ironically, his resume, as it would be more accurately reflected, is nothing to sneeze at. But c’mon! We all know it’s detectives who do the homicide work and not sergeants in the corrections department.
So with a little help from a friend, the Martinez for Coroner campaign finally got the DuPage Sheriff’s office to cough up the FOIA’d goods, and as I previously reported, Russell apparently hasn’t participated in one homicide investigation and the DuPage County Sheriff offers no such “lead homicide investigator” position.
This certainly calls into question Russell’s claim of owning a certification in “lead homicide and death investigations.” At this point, I would call on Mr. Russell to provide the evidence that supports this claim.
Not only that, but the records show Russell has been subjected to five disciplinary actions – three verbal and two written – the particulars of which were not released. Being called on the carpet once or twice in a career isn’t that unusual, but five times?
As you all know, Deputy Russell has been running on a platform of bringing integrity back to the coroners office. Perhaps he’s taking the road less traveled.
