From the article: Herriman councilman Milton "Mick" Shannon, co-founder of the Children's Miracle Network charity, resigned Thursday after being charged with felony criminal mischief.

What is the Children's Miracle Network? "The organization was founded by Marie Osmond and her family, John Schneider, Mick Shannon and Joe Lake. Children’s Miracle Network’s most recognizable symbol and greatest fundraising tool is its red and yellow Miracle Balloon icon. As of 2008, Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $3.4 billion—most of which is donated a dollar or two at a time." Source: Children's Miracle Network.org

From the article: Court documents say Shannon slashed tires and scratched the body of a vehicle belonging to a man he believed was having an affair with his ex-wife.

Records show Mick Shannon, co-founder of Children's Miracle Network, is a financial supporter of Mitt Romney:

According to: Herriman, UT Political Contributions by Individuals

"MR. MICK SHANNON (CHILDREN'S MIRACLE NETWORK/FOUNDER), (Zip code: 84096) $2300 to ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT INC. on 03/01/07" [This same source says "Karen Shannon" at same zip code and on same date gave another $2300 to ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT, INC]

This financial support goes back to Romney's run for Senate in 1994: "MICK SHANNON (OSMONDO FOUNDATION), (Zip code: 84092) $300 to ROMNEY FOR U S SENATE COMMITTEE INC on 07/27/94"

What a jack ass. I have contributed to this program before, I thought it was a safe bet (maybe not). The affair with ex-wife, ah, its not an affair unless you are still married.

Just last year, BYU chose its biggest game, rivalry-wise, to honor Mick Shannon.

In this article by Analane Powell, BYU Athletic Communications, BYU said:

We are pleased to recognize the generosity and leadership of Mick Shannon as our Honored Club Member for the BYU v. Utah game.

Mick is a Legacy Member of the Cougar Club who has served as a volunteer leader both on the Cougar Club Board of Directors and with the leadership of our Salt Lake Chapter.

Along with personally financial sponsorship for Cougar Club activities, Mick has also used his influence to bless BYU fans worldwide. For example, it was Mick who put together a fireside featuring Dale Murphy, Danny Ainge, and Steve Young that was videotaped and distributed to youth groups and others throughout the LDS Church. This year it was Mick who single-handedly made it possible for Ty Detmer to speak at the Salt Lake Chapter’s Big Blue Bash.

When asked, Mick said his favorite BYU sports moment was the 1980 Miracle Bowl, and this was no surprise. Mick Shannon likes miracles. He likes watching them and he enjoys making them happen.

In 1982 along with Marie Osmond and few others, Mick co-founded the Children’s Miracle Network, which has become one of the world’s leading children’s charities—raising funds for medical care, research, and education that saves or improves the lives of 17 million children annually. To date the Children’s Miracle Network has raised more than $3.4 Billion.

Thank you Mick, for all you have done for the Cougars and for so many others.

West Jordan in Utah...

Romney supporter...

felony criminal mischief.

Oh noez...

“Court documents say Shannon slashed tires and scratched the body of a vehicle”

What sane man would do that ???

Oh he thought he had a reason...He “Owned” his ex-wife...

“a vehicle belonging to a man he believed was having an affair with his ex-wife.”

So he was stalking a woman who was not his wife..

(not that stalking his wife would be any less criminal)

I bet she already had an Order of Protection against this dangerous animal too...

The womans life is her business and not this creeps...

shes well rid of him...

...Law enforcement officers are obliged to properly identify individuals they arrest. Unfortunately, so called "sanctuary cities" explicitly prohibit the police from doing so.

His EX wife?

Was this guy the CAUSE of wife being ex?

This never would have happened if he were not a Romney supporter.
You are a funny man.
