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

[Ross]

Ross,

By the time you and patriot get done with this subject, there won't be a Public Square.  By continuing to chase your own tail, you will have turned it into a Public Round.

When you accuse Patriot an myself of something can't you be more precise? We are not chasing our tails but someone apears to have their tail tucked between their legs and it's not us. I don't have a fake name, I'm not hiding, I'm quite open and that's all I ask of Elk Konnected, LLC? What do they have to hide? They give a few people a position on a committe and those poor folks think they are members of Elk Konnected, LLC when actually they are not. They are simply volunteering to do what Elk Konnected want's them to do.

When I was a kid squares weren't cool. Who says you have to have a square?

Perhaps if they chose to do as they originally said and try to do away with conflict there would be no problem. Answer a few simple questions, but I think they are afraid to do just that. It's teir game I'm jsut playing. Their move. Transparency!?!

You might be surprised at just how many people are asking the same questions in other venues.  I notice, in another recent thread, how much back room deals seem to bother you.  What's the difference?  At least your government opponents in that debate are clearly identifiable.

Just what tax money has Elk Konnected, LLC asked for and received and for what purpose?

As for being in agony, you seem to be agonizing quite a lot over this subject.  I don't see it as an issue.  I see it as an organization that is trying to do something for Elk County and keeps getting bashed for no apparent reason.

Julie has given you a very complete answer to your questions.  Are you calling her a liar?

That is so disrespectful of everyone on thei thresd. To suggest calling someone a liar.

The tax money is not really the main issue, but that information is listed through out this thread.

The main issue is who is Elk Konnected, LLC. Who is on their board of governors, who is their secretary, who is, what is the structure of Elk Konnected, LLC. Do you know?

I have never seen any answers to these simple questions. Why are they hiding? What do they have to hide. Many other county residence are asking the same questions but they just won't do it openly.

Evidently no one on this Forum has the answers to your questions.  Why don't you take them to someone that can tell you?  You aren't answering questions very good yourself, are you?

Oh, I'm sure there are people on this forum that have the answers and I am sure Elk Konnected, LLC is monitoring this forum because it would make perfect snese for a company to do so.

I have been on here to ask questions and to visit with a couple of other people.

Quote from the middle of page four of this thread, " I was at the County Commisiioners meeting Monday ad spoke with them about Elk Konnected. I read the first few lines of one of their web pages. It said something to the effect that they wanted to pull all the communities together and try to get them to work together. Then I read a line from the most recent wbe page and  it says , In early 2007, Elk County was experiencing some events that made a resident wonder "What is the future of Elk County"? With a county population of only 3000, one tiny town spends time and energy wanting to pull out of the county wide trash service.. Now this is where things  blurr between our elected officials. Lis Hendricks said that they didn't mean to bash Elk Falls. To defend Elk Konnected. I simply said you did anyway. It is still up there I just copied and pasted the remark for this web page. http://www.publicsquarecommunities.com/community/elk/aboutus.php .  If she didn't mean to bash them then why doesn't she remove the remark. But here I am addressing Elk Konnected instead of the County commissioners.

I went on to say that Public Squares Community is located in Leota, Kansas and that I called the city offices to inquire about  PSC and they had no idea who that was. I told the lady they are a busniess in that community. She again said she never heard of them. I then informed the council that Liz use to live in Leoti and that she is a staff member of PSC. I don't suppose you can see any conflicts of interest in any of this. I'm asking you why wouldn't she provide this information publicly?

I then said that Elk Konnected said they don't use taxpayers money and stated that they had recieved a school grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce for $3000.00. Again Liz jumped to the defense of Elk Konnected as their spokesperson and said that Elk Konnected never saw that money and that it went directly to PSC. I told her that it didn't matter how she twisted it, it was sitll tax dollars for Elk Konnected to pay for PSC's services. She once again siad we don't use taxpayers money. I said wait a minute, Elk Konnected Youth services was just up here before me and asked for money. I asked her isn't that taxpayers money, she had no response. Why all the deception, where is the transparency? What are they trying to hide? "

And I say once again, that money is requested from the Elk County Commission for help in a lot of different things.  Most recently, the summer baseball programs.  The money is budgeted for this purpose.  Why should one organization be refused when all other requests are honored?

If you are hinting that someone is benefiting financially from the Elk Konnected, LLC, why don't you just say so?  Or better still get out there and prove it.

Where did you answer my question about exactly what funds had EK,LLC requested and what were they for?

You just don't get it? I'll try again!!! I'm asking who is elk Konnected, LLC,  how is their organization operated? And I'm not asking about how the Community Conversations are ran, we have seen that. I'm not asking who their volunteers are, that is not Elk Konnected, LLC. I hope that is clear, I just can't seem to make that any clearer.

You said, "If you are hinting that someone is benefiting financially from the Elk Konnected, LLC, why don't you just say so?" I have never hinted at anything I have been straight forward with my questions. But perhaps you are hinting by broaching the subject of hinting. I don't understand where these accusations are coming from.

You said, "Where did you answer my question about exactly what funds had EK,LLC requested and what were they for?" I really don't care about the money. But, I did answer your question in the above post.

[Wilma]

I take it that you are once again talking about a $3,000.00 school grant that was made by the Department of Commerce.  To whom was it made?
