In my communication with Mr. Gober I found him to be a very articulate and knowledgeable person with a good work and family background. My concern with his election to the O'Fallon Fire Board is that virtually ALL of the donations for his campaign came from the Firefighters Union. When an election is purchased many times those paying for it expect reimbursement. Let's hope that this is not the case with Matt Gober.
