Don Call said he plans to stay on as McCune mayorMcCune, Kan., Mayor Don Call said Wednesday he will stay on as mayor after receiving 98 votes as a write-in candidate Tuesday. He beat the only candidate, Debbie Rennie, who was on the ballot.
Don Pyle, Crawford County Clerk, said Call’s two pending felony charges for animal cruelty would not affect his ability to be the mayor. Call, earlier this year, shot and killed two dogs that allegedly were menacing some children in town. “It doesn’t surprise me,” Call said of the vote. “I didn’t think I had any problems to start with. Everybody in town supported what I done anyway. The dogs had been a problem for quite a while and the people in town are glad it’s taken care of.” Call has maintained that his action was necessary because the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department had not acted on previous complaints about the dogs running loose. Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton has said that none of the complaints his department received came from actual victims of the dogs, and that deputies were unable to locate any. He said that without a victim, the deputies could not make a case.
