More Disarray in Marathon GOP


At the beginning of the month, I wrote about the Marathon GOP, which had just fired their spokesman, Kevin Stevenson. Stevenson's offense was for penning a letter to the local paper on how wrong national GOP leader Rush Limbaugh was for wishing for Obama and for the county to fail.

Now, there are more ramifications and fallout.

Their president just quit:

The chairman of the Republican Party of Marathon County is stepping down.

He sent a short e-mail to members of the executive committee of the GOP Party of Marathon County with the news today.

It read...

"Effective the Time/Date stamp on this e-mail I am resigning the position of Chairman, Republican Party of Marathon County.
Joseph L. Wachtel"

Wachtel tells NewsChannel 7 it's time to get rid of some stress in his life he just didn't want to do it anymore. He says it has "a little bit" to do with the recent controversy in the local GOP.
