         What a breath of fresh air !  If only we could have the same turn of events at the federal level.

We also need the same things happening at CITY levels too!

And on the school boards and in Topeka.  But until taxpayers & voters get a belly full of corrupt/lazy/self aggrandizing elected officials, not much will change.  I have noticed, however, conservatives have become much more vocal in recent times.  No longer content with being called derogatory names and being accused of being heartless beasts, they are beginning to assert themselves and call for better leadership.  That might be a good thing.  Ya think?

I also believe at the West Elk School District, which has a Konnected School Board President and I don't know how many other school board members. It appears to me that they are intent on the idea of building again. They spent good money to hire a university to perform a study for them. And it appeared they did not want everyone in the district involved even though the University did. At any rate the university professors were suppose to return with the final results and to have a meeting with the public. That did NOT happen. I was informed by a school official that the study showed everything alright for an average school. So they did not hold the final public meeting. Next they spent more money foolishly to hire the professor/facilitator from I believe it was Pittsburg. Still trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Elk County, again IMO! Where is that study, where is the final meeting with this professor/facilitator? How much more money is the school board going to waste scaming the taxpayers? How much more momey is the school board gonna waste that is suppose to be used for the children's education.

Why doesn't the school board concentrate on Education and make West Elk a Blue Ribbon School, a school of real accomplishment! I think that must be to large of a task for them, that's why. But that's just my opinion. It would require a lot of work on everyone's part at West Elk and the school board. No, it is much easier to waste money hiring people to do studies to prove nothing.

Dog gone it Patriot you beat me to it. But here is my two cents anyway.

I just think we need the citizens discussing these things, in order to encourage improvement.

Patriot, thanks for the good report.  Been hoping that things would improve in
Elk County and looks like local county government is getting better. 

That means a lot to have two (2) Commissioners who will stand for the liberty of the citizens.
