聽legislator from Ferguson, is firing shots across the bow of County Executive Sam Page.

At the center of the social media stir is a donation of $10,000 that Page鈥檚 political action committee, Page PAC, made to a group called Unified Democratic Township Organization LLC.

Proudie is irritated that the donation was made to a committee whose treasurer is Chevon Weaver 鈥� the daughter-in-law of Tony Weaver, a Page ally and former $82,500-a-year county employee recently聽indicted by a federal grand jury.听

That prompted Proudie to post earlier this week: 鈥淵ou fire the dude with felony charges and turn around and give his PAC $10,000? We see you.鈥�

Page hired聽Tony Weaver to a job as the county jail鈥檚聽鈥渃hange management coordinator,鈥� then fired Weaver after the indictment was made public.

Proudie even promised to file a complaint with the Missouri Ethics Commission:聽

鈥淥h! It鈥檒l be me sending the @MOEthics聽complaint and I want them to know it was me,鈥� Proudie posted on Twitter.

The complaint revolves around a state law which requires that any donation of more than $5,000 be reported to the ethics commission within 48 hours.

While the records for Page PAC show that the $10,000 was given on May 31, the Unified PAC did not report it until June 30.

It just so happens that on June 7 鈥� a date tucked within that 30-day reporting gap 鈥斅燭ony Weaver was charged with four counts of wire fraud in a scheme to obtain COVID-19 relief funds for a local businessman and then split the proceeds. Weaver has pleaded not guilty.

As to the $10,000 donation, Page said he does not control the donations of his PAC, and went on to say he has no problems with Proudie.

鈥淚鈥檝e worked with her in the past,鈥� Page said earlier this week, 鈥渁nd I wish her well in the primary.鈥�

And therein lies the rub. Proudie, who was first elected in 2018, faces another incumbent Democrat, , in the Aug. 2 primary. The two are forced to face each other because of redistricting.

And for those keeping score, note that the filing records show that Unified PAC is not run by disbarred lawyer Elbert Walton Jr. 鈥� even if it sounds a lot like an old Walton-run PAC called Unified Democratic Township Organizations (there was no 鈥淟LC,鈥� you see), which also gave its address as 2320 Chambers Road.

Chevon Weaver could not be reached for comment

That鈥檚 not to say the Weavers and Waltons are strangers, by any means.

Tony Weaver was a former executive aide to Rochelle Walton Gray, Elbert Walton鈥檚 daughter, when Gray was a County Council member. Page later hired Gray to an $89,000-a-year job after she lost a council race in 2020.
