ELK KONNECT & VOLUNTEERS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[Ross]

I guess you could do absolutely nothing and see what that gets you.  Oh, wait that is what you and Ross are doing, absolutely nothing except attacking any and all who are trying to improve things.

Oh, really. Asking that the Konnected Kounty Kommissioners become Elk County Commissioners, is doing nothing. Pointing out all that is wrong with your failed concepts. And the fact that you failed as Elk County Economic Development Employee is doing nothing. Asking people to get out and vote in November is doing nothing.

There have been different groups of people trying many different things to change the economic situation in Elk County for decades.  

What happened when Sam's Club wanted to build their warehouse in Elk County?

Without their efforts and financial sacrifices, I doubt there would be 1500 people left.  

Can you elaborate on those financial sacrifices.? Or are you just spewing words?

Look around lot's of properties are up for sale. Where are the jobs that can provide a half way decent living?
I'm sorry I forgot you don't live here to see for yourself, do you?

Oh and that's right, Sam's Club warehouse built in the country in Oklahoma.

And actually if something similar wanted to come into Elk County I think they would be run off. Why? Because with them would come people with more money then the wealthy in the county have. And we all know money is power. Only one thing tops it, honest people. People like Mr. Ritz. And we need everyone to vote similar people into County Commissioners positions at election time.

But you and your ilk just keep right on gettin on with whatever it is that you are doing to improve things.

And your ilk, want socialism for a few select. Take from the taxpayers and citizens of Elk County to benefit only your ilk.

And from a community economic development viewpoint, my one sentence answer to "what is Elk Konnected trying to accomplish?" is -  They are utilizing both internal and external financial capital in an attempt to slow and ultimately stop the loss of human capital through the creation of an entrepreneurial social infrastructure by bridging and bonding social capital and cultural capital.

In laymans language isn't saying "bridging and bonding" simply another way of saying manipulate what ever you want?

I'm Sure Elk Konnected, LLC wants social infrastructure, so that they might have even more control and access to more "Beggar-Thy-Neighbor" money. Just how is an Elk Konnected, LLC daycare center paid for with "Beggar-Thy-Neighbor" money going to keep people from leaving to find a job that pays a half way decent living.

Hasn't Elk Konnected, LLChad their eye on the wind farm money since the beginning?
Wasn't Elk Konnected, LLC formed for that one reason?
Didn't the founder of ]Elk Konnected, LLC[/b] know long before anyone else, that the wind farm was being planned?

So really, hasn't social welfare for a few has been planned for a long, long time?

...Whether  or not we get the result from the "dancing with the Commisioners Konnected results", we at least as a community need to get the results from priorites of the county!  It's not about Elk Konnected as a focus, Ross, it's becoming about what is fracking wrong with the priorities?...   (emphasis added)

B I N G O ! ! !
GIVE THAT PERSON THE CUPIE DOLL (OR DUCK) PRIZE!

Well 'thank you very much'   <in my best Elvis impression)
I will still get afflac from this though,

ready  to yawn and get horizontal   ALONE, naturally.   It's a given!

Years ago, a manager I worked with reminded me of the following:  The speed of the leader(s) is the speed of the crew.

As true then as it is today.

Diane, I stand corrected it wasn't post #63 it was #68, however you still didn't answer my question as to how I was being a bully.


As to the rest...the simple fact of the matter is that EK hasn't done anything worth a tinkers damn to improve this county.  In fact just the opposite is true.  By funneling money that could have been used to make actual improvements to "pet projects" they have limited the county and stolen from the average taxpayer.

And for the record I haven't called anyone a Nazi on this thread, I made reference to their Nazi like behavior...so who is misquoting who??

[Ross]

Let me put this another way, then I will shut up:
I said this before a year ago...in the ..ahem political lounge....I see Elk Connected as a Brushfire.  You know when really dry grass starts a huge blaze, then peters out?   It was fun and and an excited moment to watch at that time.  We all were in awe, or frightful.  Then it required other gasoline or other flammables/inflammables...they mean the same if you think about it(fill in the blanks) to fire that sucker back up.   I think the original issue from 2007 was that brush fire....and methinks the gasoline is coming from the weekly meetings.

Very well put.

I may not like Ross' methods as well as Patriots of questioning, however they do bring up interesting questions if not verging on the version of "Danger, Wil Smithl"!  (refer to the 70's)   Only thought provoking questions to get everyone to think.  And I can.

Trying to get people to think has been my main goal. I have often told them not to believe a thing I say, think for themselves. Hell, I didn't even know what to think when I first started this thread. I perhaps could have, should have said, talk about it with friends and neighbors and relatives. But I just assumed that would happen. And I believe it has happened.

I appreciate your honesty about stepping on my style or lack there of. LOL
I got no education in the fine arts, or anything political.

Yep, the sky is falling. But perhaps in November it will float back up.

I do however, find that 2 commissioners of this crumbling county seem. seem to be a  part of the same issue that is causing all of this chaos.

Ditto!

Whether  or not we get the result from the "dancing with the Commisioners Konnected results", we at least as a community need to get the results from priorites of the county!  It's not about Elk Konnected as a focus, Ross, it's becoming about what is fracking wrong with the priorities?  They are not the only problem.

Well I don't claim to be a great or even a good communicator. And I have said openly, I lack tact an diplomacy. But I seem to have brought some information to light, and I don't know, what goes on behind the closed doors. Once in a while, there is a crack in the door, but not much. But anyway, I believe you are right County priorities are out of whack.

disclaimer:
I do not live in Elk County, and I am in NO way affialted with elk Konnected, LLC, nor am I sleeping with any of the comissioners.
  oh...Ready to cringe at my typing

Thank God for that information. Sometimes, I have a hard time understanding what you say, but this whole post came through loud and clear.


I have had a busy and hard day, I'm tired and going to bed.
Good night all.

[YSoSerious!]

So Patriot, I take it that you think I am someone you know.  Well, I hate to disappoint you but I am not who you have insinuated that I am.  No electrical experience here.

Well, that's special.  Irrelevant, but special.  C'est la vie.

She's referring to my spelling Nazi comment 2 years ago.
