Sources of Grant Funding

In another thread, Ross made the following statement about monies received by entities serving Elk County citizens:
(emphasis added)

It acheived the desired effect. Among the reactionary statements made in response to this statement:

From srkruzich (emphasis original)

Did Ross purposely leave out this statement:

which is repeated several times on the website of The Kansas Health Foundation. From the page showing where grants have been made:

There are two alternatives here.

Either Ross was aware of the source of The Foundations funding and purposely made a misleading statement - "are not Taxpayers dollars, at least not directly" - to insinuate that they are taxpayers dollars and solicit emotionately charged reactions such as Steve's.

Or Ross did not bother to do even a five second cursory search of the Foundations website to ascertain the origin of its funding.

I present, you decide.

It looks as if flintauqua just likes to start new threads in order to evade the real issues.
That's sneaky. Come back to the original thread and make your accusations and try to stay on subject.
I did nothing you claim as accusations. I believe I said none of the monies were taxpayers money
at least directely. Have you ever heard of tax breaks or anything of that nature.
And no I did not know the money came from the sale of a hospital.

I wasn't being sneaky, I believe I left the link to the site for anyone to look at. Thank you.
That's more than you did
Is this the way Elk Konnected, LLC operates, it appears so. Sneaky and behind closed doors.
Are you an Elk Konnected, LLC registered member?
Lets go back to the original thread, ok. OKAY.

Twisting words is so obvious!! Say what you mean, mean what you say!!! Wilma said that no one wants to run because of all the flak that is caught. Also, she stated that they are the quality of people that you want in the offices. If a person has a successful business for 20 plus years, don't you want them running the city or county for that matter???

I see no conflict of interest if the city sees that the cheapest place to purchase things is here in town. And if the council person obstains from the vote, how is that conflict of interest??? They are not voting on buy or paying the bill, or whatever. They are choosing not to because of conflict of interest and to keep people from getting mad.

As for the different officials lining their own pockets, are you serious!!!! Really!! That's a joke!! If they get paid, I bet it won't even buy them a gallon of gas to get to the meeting!! And if by improving the county is a bad thing, lets all be shot down in the rapture!!!

You said,"I see no conflict of interest if the city sees that the cheapest place to purchase things is here in town." Why are you confusing city councils with a topic on Elk Konnected, LLC and the County commissioners?

I can believe you are not an Elk Konnected, LLC registered member, but who is?

You know jarhead the truth is that no one with ethics and integrity wants to run for public office cause its so corrupt these days. The ole saying, you lay down with rats you get fleas.

Actually Steve... that old saying goes like this: Qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent... meaning being, "If you lie down with dogs, you rise up with fleas." It means: You should be cautious of the company you keep. Associating with those of low reputation will inevitably lower your own.

Do Marines have fleas

Back stabbing by starting a new thread is not being polite by my way of thinking.
But I'm proud of you for speaking your mind.
Would you bring it over to the original thread please. Now that's polite.
Here is the link http://www.cascity.com/howard/forum/index.php/topic,11960.0.html
Now that's polite, too.
