State Rep. Robinson also withdraws; court appearance soon
State Rep. Scott Muschany, R-Frontenac, isn’t the only legislator who acted Tuesday to drop their re-election bid this fall.
So did state Rep. Brad Robinson, D-Bonne Terre, who faces hit-and-run charges for allegedly driving away after hitting a man with his pickup on Jan. 1. His wife, Tara Robinson, stands accused of lying to police by saying she was the driver.
Brad Robinson’s next scheduled court appearance is Friday in St. Francois County Circuit Court.
According to the secretary of state’s Web site, Robinson withdrew his re-election bid shortly after 4 p.m. today.



Good for Brad. While I thought he was a decent legislator, his actions with the driving incident were bad. This will help the Democrats keep that seat.
