Thanks, Patriot, for asking Mr. Ritz whether he wanted the job. I know it was a major concern in Delaware but around here where people actually know him, we know that he is the perfect man for the job! Doug has his act together and his life is like an open book. Thank you for not writing grants for personal, special interest groups. Thank you for not having under the table, backhanded, behind closed door, dealings. Thank you for not being a Republican In Name Only (RINO). Thank you for not "needing" armed sheriff deputies at county commission meetings.  Thank you for not making a fuss about anyone who would tape record or video tape any public meeting you would hold. It's nice to know that the honest people don't worry about being taped.

It's nice to know that we have a lifetime resident who has made his home and livelihood in Elk County; who has high moral values, being married to the same woman for many, many years; that is a true Republican Conservative without socialist agendas in mind. Thank you Mr. Ritz for the hard work you have done and the hard work you will continue to do in the future!--Robert

Good Job nykkelsdymes! It's about time someone put up something with the REAL TRUTH! Personally, there is much more that Doug does than is listed on the website but this lets people know some FACTS! Great man! He has our vote!--Robert and Jennifer Walker



WRITE-IN DOUG RITZ DISTRICT 1 COUNTY COMMISSIONER

First of all, Ms. Nancy Liebau, it's nice to see that an EK would chime in to stand up for another EK individual, but I'm not interested in hearing any of that socialist agenda. I hear enough from Barack Obama everyday on the TV.
Upoladeb, I ain't for sure how the trash services work in Upola, but I know several people take their trash to the county yard at Busby. I've seen Lawrence Jontra and John Cannon. Roads repeatedly worked on? Go up northwest of Howard and check out how many times roads have been worked on up there. You know, District 2. That would be up to the road boss. Now then we all know that Lawrence Jontra was the predecessor to Doug Ritz and that Liz hasn't been in office for a couple of years and that Doug is not running against Liz and her EK socialist ideas that they tried to push over on the citizens of Elk County. Granted, she was just District 2 Commissioner but felt like Elk County President because (my feelings) she ran Kenny Liebau and ran Lawrence Jontra. It's very refreshing to know that we have Doug Ritz who she couldn't run and a landslide of voters put Gary Hebb in office to get rid of her. That should pretty well tell people she was not wanted. Her EK ideas are not wanted. And anyone voting for Shari Kaminska who IS a member of EK, who does talk on facebook with her "Queen Elizabeth" should open their damned eyes and see that what you're going to get is another Elizabeth, the puppet master. That's why my vote is for Doug Ritz, November 4th, 2014, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.!--Robert

WRITE-IN DOUG RITZ, DISTRICT 1, COUNTY COMMISSIONER

People of District 1: has anyone noticed the work that has started on the cemetery road outside of Longton from highway 160 to the cemetery? They are getting ready to repave from the highway to the cemetery. This is being done thanks to Douglas C. Ritz, County Commissioner District 1. Don't let anyone else tell you that this was a Kaminska project because that would be a damned lie. Just one more of Doug's accomplishments as County Commissioner. This road hasn't been worked on for many years, other than a few bags of asphalt being dumped in holes. Other county commissioners could have allocated money to fix this but chose to just bandage it. I have no doubt in my mind that when Shari takes office that the Busby road (at least to her house) and maybe their feed routes will be paved with gold. It's a damn shame that under her administration all the other roads will go to shit. It's only taxpayer money, "screw them, we give them what we want." That's the socialist way. Margaret Thatcher once said, "the problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other peoples' money."---Robert

Joesue, I have no doubt that Liz Hendricks worked hard to get the wind farm finalized and voting on where the wind farm would go, seeings that the majority of it sets on daddy's land that she receives money from. Oh yes, I would work my ass off to get it in too. I am glad that she's not there to decide where the wind farm money will be spent that goes into the county and I'm very glad that Douglas C. Ritz has done an excellent job of allocating those funds responsibly and putting them into county projects and NOT taking wind farm money belonging to the taxpayers and putting into pet peeve projects such as Elk Konnected. That's why my vote goes for Doug Ritz who is NOT Elk Konnected unlike Shari Kaminska. And Ross, it was Donna Kaminska, Shari's mother, who was handing out ballots, not Shari. I wonder if after the election, she will change her name?---Robert

Holy Crap! You are right Raven. I had totally forgotten about Donna Kaminska (or Kaminski, depending on who you are) setting up there and handing out the ballots. And you're right, it didn't look good. But I suppose there ain't no problem with her handing out ballots for her daughter AND helping with the ballot count. I mean, hell, did she drive the sons of bitches up to Howard too?  --Robert
P.S. Redcliff, your dearly beloved democratic party that you and my parents and grandparents so loved no longer exists. If you would open your eyes and look at their policies now, you would see this. Stop blaming everything on Republicans. Republicans didn't elect Obama. This has nothing to do with this thread.

I don't honk very many people are going to any attention to what you, Ross or hillbilly say . What have any of you 3 do e to help or benefit Elk County. If you have heard of the 3 Stooges, well you are the 3 idiots.

Yep, this is definitely an Elk Konnected follower. But what I want to know is: where's the spelling cop, the grammar police? Ya'll would be all over my ass if I typed something like this. LOL---Robert

P.S. What have YOU done to help or benefit Elk County living in Caney, KS?

Well, unlike others on this forum, I don't feel the need to brag and toot my own horn about what I have done to help or benefit this county or anyone in it. Also, MY record isn't what we are discussing here as I'm not up for re-election or election of any kind. I don't believe name calling is beneficial in a discussion either. We are discussing, however, a fine man who has helped this county over the last few years by being District 1's County Commissioner. A man who won't toot his own horn either but has done more good in the past 4 years than had been done in the 10 (at least) before him. Facts are facts and apparently people don't like it.

Thank you Gadsden for starting this thread. Good post Shadow. Also, could people please try to keep this civil? Leave the name calling and sand kicking on the playground.---Jennifer Walker

I would like to know what 4 industries she is planning on bringing to Longton, KS. I remember her saying that but she never did enlighten anyone on what those industries were. Also, shouldn't someone wanting to be our voice for the county give us their complete resume? You know, places worked, years worked, reasons for dismissal/quitting, why a company wouldn't want you to relocate and keep working there after years of service, etc. There are so many questions that went unanswered; plenty of attitude (at least by her other half) but no real answers.

[Do you just sign your name to the register so your name can be put in the paper like you were there]

To the District 1 County Commissioner Elect...how many meetings have you attended since you were elected?  Do you just sign your name to the register so your name can be put in the paper like you were there? I mean, you did attend the meeting for Longton City Council for September, but you just signed your name on the register at the courthouse and left before the commission meeting started. That reminds me of hearing that Barack Hussein Obama used to only vote present in the Senate before he got in the White House and everybody knows what kind of disaster it has been since he took up residence there! And we will expect the same from you. That is why I will write in Douglas C. Ritz for County Commissioner, a man who helped set this county on the right track. We don't need to return to the broken policies that we once had under previous commissioners.--Robert L. Walker
