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

When conceived it was a project of almost unimaginable boldness and foolhardiness, requiring great bravura, risking great hubris. —Simon Winchester, The Professor and the Madman, 1998

Headline Just posted on the internet this morning:

Report: Mismanagement rampant at airports authorityThe regional authority overseeing one of the largest public works projects in the country is rife with mismanagement, a glaring lack of transparency and lavish spending habits that have included thousand-dollar dinners and a $9,200 plane ticket to Prague, according to a scathing interim report from the U.S. Department of Transportation's inspector general.

Sound a bit familiar. similar to what is happening with our Konnected Kounty Kommissioners?
Where is the transparency?
We know they are reading this forum and this thread, where are they?
Busy keeping secrets?

I believe the reason County Commissioner Liebau refers to my post's as vile is because my post's are truthful, and the truth hurts. IMHO

I also believe the reason County Commissioner Hendricks posted in this thread that she doesn't trust me, is because, "I have no reason what so ever to lie on this forum", and was simply an attempt to discredit me. IMHO And she doesn't even know me.

I believe the reason, I was told is this thread that all my post's were being printed out for a possible lawsuit, was simply an attempt to shut me up and to attempt to stop open and honest dialog. IMHO

Secrets by our Konnected Economic Development Employee about who she is working with on Economic Development?

My opinion is we need to replace to Konnected Kounty Kommissioners.

Voting is real important this year, your vote is very important, more so then past years, because we have more information today then before, Don't you think?

Where are all the Elk Konnected, LLC FOLLOWERS's now?
Let us hear from you? What do you have to say?

Do you think we need Konnected Kounty Kommissioners to continue the actions that have been an on going thing?
IMHO NO!

Let's all be vile together, let's all vote in November.

"Of course we should be skeptical.
Of course we should be questioning.
Of course we shouldn't be naïve."

If you were to drive down RD 19 to Elk Falls the care taken of the road does not go all of the way. You will see that it only goes as far as one of the members. So anyone living further down does not benefit from it. You will see on that road at one spot that the road next to the river is caving off. They were told about it and just don't care. Seems that only the Konnected members are the ones that benefit from all this road care.

And before the chorus begins, remember that at least one of our konnected commissioners has been micromanaging the road super for some time. Calling to direct work as they individually see fit, not based on any commission approved public plan. More on this later perhaps.

You 2 that call yourselves Ross and Patriot are sure troublemakers. You are trying to pit the towns in Elk County against each other, you are trying to pit the Schools against each other and you are trying to pit the people against each other. Fortunately many if not most of the people I talk to tell me that they don't believe half of what you put out here. I think you 2 are the most negative thing to come to Elk County in my lifetime.

I'm not the one doing the county wrong, I am not an elected official working for a privately owned business, that begs for county money.

I believe Elk Konnected, LLC still has their open letter out there on the internet knocking Elk Falls as a reason for starting their organization. So you might want to reassess your statement.

And it does not bother me one iota that you don't believe a word I say. Why waste your time reading what I say?

Oooh!
The truth hurts that much?

I'm so sorry for you.

Prove me a liar, please?

Technically there has always been two groups. Those that pay the bill and those who don't but receive the service for free. The ones who pay the bill have a right and a duty to question where their money is going. ESPECIALLY if its going to others that have wealth and means. Since those in power tend to not pay much of the bill, it then falls on the rest of the productive. In all reality those who don't pay taxes should not have a say in what is done.They have no stake in it outside of recipient.

I don't know what makes you think that they don't pay taxes. That is just a tad bit on the crazy train saying that. So, if I make $100,000 a year, (which I don't nor does my husband), you say that we don't pay taxes? Just wondering why you would say that. I know I have never seen a commissioners name printed in the paper for not paying their taxes. So that it just like saying they don't have to pay any. I don't know for a fact, but I am pretty sure that is totally wrong. They pay the same amount of taxes, if not more than we do. I also know that some of those commissioners are very hard working people. Do you know what each of them do to earn their living?

Any time a public leader of any group doesn't do what some people want they are ganged up on. Believe me I know. Do you think people of leadership do it for their health? Not hardly. They do it for the good of others. I think that some of this has gone to far. I haven't posted on this for a long time. But some of the things you say about these people are just wrong. If I was to call up Jennifer, while not workin, and ask her to help me do something she would be right there to help. The same is with our commissioners. But I'm not sure that if I called up any of you for help that you would be there to help. We are trying to teach our children not to bully, but that is all that you people know how to do. I don't agree with some of the things that go on with the county, but to sit and make a post on the internet to bash these people does no good, yet you continue to keep doing it. I choose to talk to the leaders and express my concerns with words that are fitting for my 7 year old child to use and see. It's sad. When we moved Severy and Moline schools to Howard, we united our kids, but the adults in this county just don't want to unite at all. Fight, fight, and fight some more of roads that have been bad for so many years that it will take at least that many years to get them up to shape, or how we are going to spend some wind farm money. Really!!

Angie, you said it all and did it very well. GREAT JOB, I have quit posting as well but felt your post deserved a positive response.

That is because This so called uniting is nothing more than socialist agenda to destroy the individual. I am not responsible for you nor your kids nor your family. You in turn are not responsible for me. This unity crap is that. Crap.

Steve, the only way exceedingly small, dying communities survive AT ALL is if the peoples within those borders ARE united in their efforts. It is all that "I am an island, watch me wither away" that is crap. Angie, you are dead on, as always. And yes, Old Timer...There have been real attempts at divide and conquer going on for some time here. Makes you wonder what their agenda is, doesn't it? Why so intent on deflecting attention away from themselves? Why the witch hunts on people who would rather live in peace but choose to put themselves in the public eye, thereby putting a bullseye on themselves for those who do nothing but carp instead of doing anything constructive? Let the howls of indignation commence...
