Typical repuke -- he hasn't changed his story, he just remembers more now.
Republican David Spence, who is running for governor of Missouri, is having credibility problems.
The Kirkwood businessman is a former board member of Reliance Bancshares Inc., a holding company that accepted a $40 million government loan from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.
The bank’s board in February 2011 voted to delay payment on its loan because of a lack of capital.
Spence at first told at least two media outlets that he resigned from the Reliance board in part because of that decision. “What I wanted to do, and what the board wanted to do, are two different things,” Spence told the St. Louis Beacon.
But The Associated Press reported this weekend that Spence had participated in the unanimous vote in favor of withholding loan payments.
Spence’s campaign is trying to explain the discrepancy by insisting that the candidate hasn’t changed his story, he just remembers more now.
