Quick bit of advice for aspiring politicians: If you've posed for a mug shot on five different occasions, elected office may not be the right fit.
Russ Ptacek's five-minute piece on Clay County Auditor William Norris aired on KSHB Channel 41 last night. The segment opens with Norris, wearing a pink shirt and shorts, making a U-turn and bolting out of what appears to be a public building when he encounters Ptacek and a photographer. The Republican had good reason to run from Ptacek, whose detective work prompted Norris to admit earlier in the week that he had pleaded guilty to a charge of felony stalking in Grundy County in 2006.
Ptacek interviewed the victim, who dated Norris when she was 17 and he was 20, according to a report in The Kansas City Star. The woman told Ptacek that Norris harassed her at work and broke into her car. Norris told KSHB that he didn't know the woman.
Ptacek found other instances of alleged inappropriate actions by Norris toward women. A 2005 newspaper report in Trenton said Norris had been arrested for stalking a different woman. Last night's report on KSHB suggests that Norris may have posted a nude photo of a childhood acquaintance on the website The Dirty.
Before the 2010 election, the Star reported that Norris' claims that he was a CPA and a graduate of William Jewell College could not be verified. But a sufficient number of Clay County voters, who were eager to elect anyone with an (R) next to his or her name, didn't know or didn't care.

fuck you miss cortney! this lazy, lying motherfucker is sucking off the taxpayers. he lied about his past. the guy is a reject and should be tarred and feathered in front of the county court house.
The asshole is the news, I will take of the debt crisis problem when my cunt representative comes up for election in 2012. Meanwhile this guy is jacking off to porn on my dime and we need to recall him now! As for the homicides, most of them got themselves into the situation and the ghetto people do not want to help the police. So, suck my cock if you have nothing else to do than post on the pitch.
WOW! You guys have nothing better to do with your life than worry about what Bill is doing?! Seriously?! Instead of worrying about naked pics and what Bill supposably did, why don't you investigate people who have been killed in homicides, or worry about the debt crisis. Instead of writing a whole tv show about this man, do your REAL work you are suppose to be doing, NEWS. Quit having a pity party and do your job.
He isn't just a criminal himself, he actively hires them as well!
Cherie Warren, an employee in the Clay County Auditor’s office was busted for meth possession. Cherie Jannet Warren was arrested 6/16/2011 in Johnson County Kansas for felony possession of meth, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal damage less than $1000. The record is available on the Johnson County Kansas Courts website.
Unfortunately, it appears that Ms. Warren has had some financial troubles over the last year. A search on Casenet shows a couple financial judgements against Ms. Warren and a Richard Warren. Richard Warren is Ms. Warren’s ex-husband. One judgment of about $4000 is to Liberty Hospital and the other judgement is to the Department of Revenue for a tax lien.
Now devoted followers of my meanderings will remember William James Norris and his passionate defense of Cherie Warren back in February. Mr. Norris was upset about his budget and felt that Ms. Warren was being shortchanged on salary.
Norris actually denied knowing the girl -- which was great especially when they showed several photos of them together. By the way, she was 16 and he was 21 when they were "dating" and he later, according to the story, threatened to kill himself if she didn't come back to him.
That just goes to show you what a liar he is! She didn't come back and he did not kill himself!
Ahhhh Tea Party republicants -- I do so enjoy watching the aftermath of blind allegiance to a party.
