ANTIDEPRESSANT: City Councilman Candidate’s Wife Attacked Him: Texas
A wife’s story of ovarian cancer and domestic
violence added yet another layer of passion to Garland’s lone contested city
council race Monday night.
Sharp questions, finger-pointing between
incumbent John Willis and challenger David McNeely and a moderator calling for
order had already made for a lively forum. Then, as parties were dismissed,
Donna McNeely stepped to the podium at Shiloh Worship Center.
She told
of being diagnosed with cancer shortly after their marriage in 1997, of
suffering depression after the treatment and of medication that magnified her
issues.
