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

[Ross]

I spoke with a good Christian Gentleman this morning and we finally got around to politics in Elk County.

He informed me that an awful lot of people are upset/unhappy and talking about the possibilities of a lot of changes after election day.

I have only met the Gentleman twice, so I don't really know him, however, he sounded very credible.

I just don't believe too many people are happy with all the twisting of words and manipulation of our local government or what is being told to us, by certain entities.

I believe most of the citizens of Elk County want a fair and equal shake for all citizens, from our County Government and a more open and honest County Government, that is more interested in the county as a whole and not just one community or just one rural area.

One lone Commissioner can not accomplish such a thing, no matter how hard he try's, because, it takes two commissioners to vote for any good change to take effect.

It's my personal opinion that we need at least one new Commissioner to have a decent change in attitude.

And in my humble opinion any good old redneck hick with some common sense and desire to take care of the county debts and is willing to have discussions, and even disagree and question to the point of heated discussion in order for the three commissioners to come to the proper answers, would be proper. Friendly arguments are and can be a good thing.

Are there any candidates that might fit that description? I don't know any of them well enough to know, I might know them, if I see them.

So, if someone could offer up some suggestions, I'd love to here them. It would be a big help, in making my decision.

Can anyone tell me anything about the canidates?

I'm not asking who you are planning to vote for, that is not the intent. I just don't know the canidates.
I think it would be nice, to have town hall meeting, to hear from the canidates, and have an open question and answer session.

Perhaps they will show up at Moline Crazy Days or other festivals this summer.

Hey Ross!  Why don't we get the Elk Konnected group to sponsor this in the name of "community Services!"  That way, the monies to host this would be of the taxpayers, by the taxpayers and for the taxpayers' future.......PLUS, you could get escorted out gently AGAIN!!!

<<<<sarcasm level - OFF>>>>>>     

ready

[Ross]

LOL

I love it Ready. And of course I would, I have twisted and vulgar thinking.

Do you think they would have the guts, the initiative, the leadership abilities to call a Kommunity Konversation?

One with actual open and honest conversation?

One with constructive criticism?

That would be a hoot!
Never happen but good idea, me thinks.

LOL

[Lookatmeknow!!]

That is a good idea. Not only to meet them, but see what they would do for the county if they were to be elected.

I don't think it will ever happen, why?

People might ask who's Konnected and who is not?
People might ask who is interested only in one small area of Elk County or if they are interested in the County as a whole.

People might ask who want's "Beggar-Thy-Neighbor" programs and who doesn't?

I know, I would definitly ask!

Another question would be are your interests the same as the majority (not the minority) of Elk County residents?
Now that would be a tough question to answer, wouldn't it?

Let's see the so called leaders step forward, with a real, town hall type meeting, a real community conversation, with question and answer sessions.

Never happen, IMHO!

This would be a good time to see how the people feel about the negative crap that Ross and Patriot put out. It would be a ggod time to bring ot the "TOSS ROSS" and the "PUTT PATRIOT" signs.  My neighbor made a good point yesterday, he says "do you realize that neither Ross or Patriot are are native Elk Countians" and do you notice their two main supporters do not live in Elk County, have never lived in Elk County, do not own land in Elk County, do not pay taxes in Elk County, do not vote in Elk County.

[jarhead]

Aw, but a lot of Ross / Patriot supporters are native to Elk county and have lived here their whole life. My "almost neighbor" made a good point not long ago. She said," do you realize that the reverse side of the Ross /Patriot coin do not even live in this fine state, let alone Elk county" I think it's all hog wash because correct me if I'm wrong, but I think both Ross & Patriot DO live in Elk county, both landowners and both pay taxes to the county so seems they should have a say so in how their tax dollars are spent

[Bullwinkle]

      Duh, I think Boris and Natasha need to go along with Fearless Leader. New squirrels all around!

[readyaimduck]

okay Bullwinkle:
I have thought back to my Thai stick experincing days, but could never remember them. 
Then I remembered the MAD MAgazine reference to Boris and Natasha....they were spys......I .loved theMad fold a plot at the end (a teenage Playboy, if you will)

However....your posts have in my honest opinion have nothing to do with a discussion at hand.  It is a convoluted attempt at pre-teen humor that I believe is unwarranted. 

Why don't you just say what you think without any references to quote or a parable to chastise?
ready to remember that beach and walking...walking...walking....

Wait a minute!!!!!!!!
You seem to think Ross and Patriot, et al are spies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
