I can't imagine the mindset of Missouri Treasurer Vivek Malek. ("Missouri treasurer reverses course on ‘cringeworthy’ deal with gambling company," Feb. 28.) Was it that everyone else was dumb enough to look at his decals on unregulated gambling machines and think to themselves, "Here's someone who's on the ball. I'm going to vote for him in the next election"?
Talk about hitching your wagon to corruption and then advertising it. State Rep. Scott Cupps was correct in his assessment that what Malek did was "cringeworthy." If this is Malek's best, he should resign.
