Masterson Right on Madison/Ackerman Feud (Media Review)

We thought Mike Masterson did a good job summing up the Madison/Ackerman feud in his May 6 column in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

He basically said state Sen. Sue Madison has waged a personal war against Bill Ackerman because she still holds a grudge against Bootsie Ackerman, Bill’s wife.

Madison defeated Bootsie Ackerman last fall for the Senate seat from the newly created District 7. Since then, Madison has set out to derail Bill Ackerman’s appointment by Gov. Mike Huckabee to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, citing financial problems Bill Ackerman had some 15 years ago.

And it apparently worked. Bill Ackerman resigned from the commission in early May.

In the meantime, we hope Sue Madison puts that same kind of energy into doing constructive things for her district.
