Huckleberries Hears …

... and has confirmed ... that there's a funny story to that billboard that Ron Nilson/Robert Ketchum have leased on Northwest Boulevard. That ad exec for the Lamar Outdoor account happens to be none other than ... (drum roll, please) ... Dave Wood, Christie's husband. I heard about it through a Berry Picker. And Christie said I had the rumor mostly correct. Sez she: "It was secured it for the KTEC levy in August and Nilson must have also secured it through November knowing he was going to run for office. Imagine my surprise when I learned my husband sold a billboard to my opponent? But he cannot play favorites so it is what it is. I planned ahead a year ago and secured a much better location than they did. I kind of like it that part of the dollars they spent on their billboard will end up in my wallet. Thanks boys!"
