Return of Stout a good thing?

Is 2010 the year that former RC mayors return?

As of last month, former Mayor Bill Alexander was still planning to run for the City Council next year. Last week, former Mayor Dennis Stout said he’s thinking of running against District Attorney Mike Ramos.

Stout cites allegations against Ramos of prosecutorial misconduct and inappropriate relations with his colleagues as reasons he might run.

To that, Supervisor Paul Biane said thanks, but no thanks. Biane pointed to sexual harassment allegations that Stout faced himself while he served as district attorney.

“While the District Attorney’s office does have some problems that need to be addressed, I believe incumbent DA Mike Ramos is far better qualified to lead this vital County crime-fighting agency,” Biane said in a statement.

The Daily Bulletin was also unenthusiastic about a Stout comeback as expressed in an editorial that found fault in his reasons for running. Stout defended himself in yesterday’s guest column and used the opportunity to bash on Ramos some more.

What do you think? Should Stout run?
