Elk Konnected Hand out at County Commissioners meeting on 4/25

[Patriot]

And you my fine sir should go back from where you came! This county has enough people that think they are smart when in fact they are clueless. Our commissioners are doing a great job. They do not need pain in the asses like you.

Glad to have you join the discussion.  Can you provide a few specifics regarding your views on the 'great jobs' the commissioners are doing? I have no doubt that King George III, his court, & many serfs  had views similar to yours regarding a few outspoken asses in their time.  In that case the asses included the folks listed below.  Sometimes outspoken asses shed light where there's been darkness for a long time.

Nice first post...

Anyway, would you be so kind as to tell us how this county has some of the best benefits of living here versus all of the other counties in Kansas? I mean, surely this county has endless amounts of benefits to offer considering it is one of the highest taxed counties in Kansas... right? And that's only scratching the surface.

Sure, you have every right to an opinion and can honestly believe they are doing a great job though surely if you feel that way about them then you feel the same about congress and the president... right? Again, you have every right to feel that as well but I implore you to read up on history and to find out exactly what kills nations... you'll find that the very things our leaders are doing (at every level of government) have time and time again resulted in failure and in some cases much, much, much... MUCH worse than simple failure. Depression, oppression, mass loss of life.

Politics isn't just some game we can play and if we get it wrong we can press a reset button to start over. No, politics has real life consequences... consequences that most people can't afford. Please do some research into history and see just how bad this path is that we are on at every level.

Thanks for calling me a fine sir, however, I am simply a redneck!
However I would find it more of a compliment if you just hollered, hey redneck, thank you!

dee, you know what, my first reaction to your post was one of astonishment.
Astonishment at the fact that you could say such ugly things, then I simply stopped and gave your post some more thought. And I realized, you gave no thought to what you posted, and therefore you have earned my sympathy.

You see, I am where I belong, I am where I cane from, I am American Citizen who has served in the military service of this country for 10 years during the Vietnam Conflict, this country, the US of A is where I came from, I was born and raised in this country. I am also a resident and a tax payer in Elk County which means this particular part of the country is my home, which again, is where I belong. Your rudeness only reflects ignorance to these facts.

Your rudeness, also shows your ignorance of a persons rights under the constitution of our country.

You see you have no more right, to live in Elk County than any other person, whether they are rich or poor. And the fact, that you can not handle the truth shows through in you rudeness as well. Once again, earning my sympathy, I feel so sorry for you.

You are right, I am clueless about the connection between Elk Konnected, LLC and it’s membership and it’s connection with our Konnected Kounty Kommissioners and their plans. I am also clueless about Elk Konnected, LLC and “The Old Guard” that they wrote about in their open letter. Perhaps, you could clue me in? After all, I have been asking for over a year and no answers, why? No answers, from the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners, why? No answers, from Elk Konnected, LLC, why? I hope, you won’t be like them and perhaps with your great deal of knowledge, can clue all of us in, Can you do that?  Can you tell us who the registered members of Elk Konnected, LLC  are?

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion, just as I and everyone else is, so I have read your opinion and I very sincerely disagree with you. And that too is acceptable under our constitution.

In closing, I'd like to say if this country had more pain in the asses like me, perhaps we would not have all the lying and cheating on capital hill and perhaps our country would not be on the verge of a greater depression then the great depression.

Our governments are suppose to be government of the people, for the people and by the people. Not a government of the Corporations, the LLC's or the Wealthy now is it? Those are the problems that lead to corruptions aren't they?

By any chance were you at the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners meeting when Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau's own aunt called him on the carpet for allowing Elk Konnected, LLC  to hijack the Elk County web site?

How did you feel about Elk Konnected, LLC,  hijacking the Elk County emergency call system?

And these are just the simple things, right? Are these acceptable to you?

Can you honestly answer these simple questions?

What else is being allowed by the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners behind closed doors?

I don't believe that last question can be answered, do you?

But, hey if you believe they are doing such a good job, you have every right to vote for them. And I hope you do. Your vote will count equally as mine and everyone else’s vote. So go for it.

You are doing yourself, such a disservice by being rude. Since Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau refers to my posts as vile, I wonder how he would classify such a rude post as yours, don't you wonder?

It's a pleasure to visit with you and I want to wish you a good night and I hope you can find it in your heart not to be so rude in the future. It just is not very becoming of you.

      GREAT POST !  

No conflicts of interest  ?   ?
No ethics involved   ?   ?

She is still listed as of this moment as Steering Committee Member on the Elk konnected, LLC web site.

Our Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Hendricks is now the president of Public Squares Communities and she votes to give her Elk Konnected, LLC Organization money out of Elk County Coffers ?

Didn't Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Hendricks once state she did not benefit from any money's paid to Public Squares Communities, LLC ? ? ?

Planned For three years, really ? ? REALLY ? ?

Liz Hendricks, of Howard, will replace founder Terry Woodbury as president, a position Woodberry has held since 2004.

Does that mean she now owns Public Squares Communities, LLC ?  ?  ?

"We've been planning this leadership succession for three years," Woodbury stated in a news release, "so it's especially rewarding to see that our dreams and plans brought us to this turning point in our growing organization."

ISN'T THIS A WAKE UP CALL PEOPLE?   ?   ?                             ISN'T THIS A WAKE UP CALL PEOPLE /  ? ?                         ISN'T THIS A WAKE UP CALL PEOPLE ?  ?  ?

"We've been planning this leadership succession for three years," Woodbury stated in a news release, "so it's especially rewarding to see that our dreams and plans brought us to this turning point in our growing organization."

It's not really a surprise, either. 

Isn't this the same elected Commissioner Liz Hendricks who founded Elk Konnected & turned almost immediately to Mr. Terry Woodbury in January of 2007 for help organizing Elk Konnected, LLC & Elk County under the Public Square Communities, LLC banner.  Read this : http://www.publicsquarecommunities.com/community/elk/aboutus.php

And isn't this the same Liz Hendricks who told the public at a commission meeting in May 2011 that she had lived in Leoti, KS for a time several years ago, knew 'of' the Woodbury family, but do not know Terry Woodbury? 

The same Liz Hendricks who, also at that meeting, clearly said that Elk Konnected did not take public (taxpayer) funds... right before we discovered they had received taxpayer funds from the City of Longton to help pay fees to Mr. Woodbury's company, tried the same in other towns & have been directing the usage of Special Recreation fund (taxpayer provided) monies for several years.

The same Liz Hendricks that. at the same meeting, who admitted Elk Konnected had received a $3,000 scholarship grant from the KS Commerce Dept. (taxpayer monies) and diverted the money to pay annual fees to Terry Woodbury's private company. 

The same Liz Hendricks who is, in spite of her undoubtedly soon to be busy (out of county) schedule as Public Square President, is running on the Democrat Party ticket as an incumbent Elk County Commissioner this year?

Looks like some vague answers are finally floating to the top.  Wonder what else is in store.  In any case, congratulations Liz.

You know, I have asked a lot of questions about  Elk Konnected, LLC and I just can’t seem to get any real answers, why do you suppose that is?

I mean a simple question, like what has Elk Konnected, LLC done to provide the “Superior Quality of Life” they claim on their web site, what have they done?

Now that Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Hendricks is a PRESIDENT perhaps she is in a better position to explain what is going on with that “Superior Quality of Life”, do you suppose you can provide us some answers? Or are the citizens of Elk County below your station in life?

Oh, very important question isn’t Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau PRESIDENT of his business?

President Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Hendricks now that you have add yet another hat to you many hats as you have said in the past, I feel compelled to ask: If you happen to get re-elected to County Commissioner what is to prevent you from quitting the job like you did with the West Elk Coaching Job? Is that what really happened?
Didn’t you just walk out on all those children, before the end of the school year, because your life got to busy? What will prevent that from happening again? Wouldn’t that cause the County to have to spend more money to hold another election?
I don’t know, I’m just asking?
But, if that were the case wouldn’t it be advantageous to the County were to elect someone else?

It seems these days everyone is a president, doesn’t it?  Oh, the big money men and really important people are referred to as CEO’s now a days aren’t they?

But back to that “Superior Quality of Life” thingy. Who would that be for?
 
I’ll tell you , I chose to live here in Elk County, because of the Quality of Life, Elk County offers, and to tamper with it would be a mistake in my opinion. This is a rural area and you don’t hear sirens all day long as you do in the cities. You also don’t have bank robberies and shooting out here. I heard just the other day in Independence a person riding their bicycle between 12th  and 14th  street on Popular street was shot 5 times. Do we have that kind of quality of life out here? NO! The only area  Elk Konnected, LLC   could really do any good would be the area of poverty, do you think all those visionary’s could work on that problem?   

And that brings me to Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau’s remark at Commissioners meeting that he directed at the audience by saying, “If only Mr. Ross would volunteer!”!
He still has never told me what he thought I should volunteer for, why? 
What do you volunteer for Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau?
How come Elk Konnected, LLC pay’s volunteers $8.00 an hour?
How many volunteers do you have and how much do each get paid?
For you Konnected Kounty Kommissioner Liebau if you were to pay me to volunteer, the same wage I received when I was working, I’ll consider volunteering just for you?
But, the personal volunteer stuff I have done and still do on my own, will remain my own, and my personal business.

Well, that’s enough rambling for now! Yes, I know I appear to be a thorn in the side, but if I could just get some honest answers, who knows what might happen?

Let’s hear from the  Elk Konnected, LLC  Followers now!

[readyaimduck]

I am going out on a limb and guessing:
Ms.Hendricks ,if she runs and gets it  she won't stand a chance if  ELK Konnetected approaches the Board of comissioners for money and she doesn't recuse herself.  That is flat out unethical!  I, myself will call the County Commisioners Board and request a hearing, or whatever they do with the protical (sp)l.
