You might want to watch KAKE TV at 6PM

If you get Channel 10/KAKE TV (directly or on DISH/DIRECTV) out of Wichita, I hear Elk County might make the news at 6 PM tonight.

You might have to fill us in. I didn't read this until 6:15.

I don't get KAKE in Independence. What happened?

Patriot · February 06, 2013, 06:27:24 PM

I suspect the piece will be up on their website before too long. When it is, I'll post the link.

Wilma · February 06, 2013, 06:29:27 PM

Just tell me about it. I might not be able to open a link.

It made Elk county look like some people were making wise decisions . Told of how we are finally gonna get a tax break from the wind farm money. Way to go Doug and Gary.

Actually, it was a great economic development piece. And the best part.... didn't cost the county a dime. Makes handing out 500 flyers at the KC Boat & Travel Show at a cost of 300 or 400 bucks in mileage look amateurish, doesn't it?

I would like to thank channel 10 KAKE news and Chris Franks for the story that was done about the windfarm money to use on the mill levies and thank you Deanna for talking about the decrease in taxes. And a special thanks to Mr. Doug Ritz for his foresight and standing up for the taxpayers and respecting the trust that we the public have placed into you and Mr. Hebb. It is high time that we have respect and dignity restored to the county commission.--Robert L. Walker

P.S. I almost forgot, a special cameo appearance by Mickey Wunderlich. Remember the camera adds 10 pounds.

Shouldn't the thanks include Liz and Ken, two of the county commissioners who actually worked on getting the wind farm in Elk county? Doug deserves the thanks, too, but what did Gary do to help?

Unlike Liz and RINO Liebau, Hebb & Ritz are the only two commissioners who cared enough to see that taxpayers deserve a break. And the only ones to take action.
