Now Diane that means learn what you can about them, I'm sure you understood that.
What's happening here, there and everywhere?

Don't you suppose people should know what's happening in their county?

How come you didn't put the Elk County Democratic Committee on that list?

[Patriot]

How come you didn't put the Elk County Democratic Committee on that list?

You just did... but if one starts at the logical place to begin looking for details, the Kansas Democrat Party website.... it seems the Elk County Democrat committee either doesn't exist, isn't important enough to be listed, or the state party powers don't think they are worthy of being identified.  Yet another mystery... but, in a strange sort of way... Konnected.  Maybe I missed something.

Here, if you find em, I'll buy coffee:  http://www.ksdp.org/party/links

I love the way the 'Democrats' have morphed into the 'Democratic' party... does that play on words mean that Democrats are the only 'democratic' folks?  Seems like that's what they want us to believe.  Given the teamster's (union=predominantly Democrat supporters) behavior in Seattle this last week, one must wonder.

Is this a deflection or what is the point? I some how miss your point. Please explain!

Who steers the steering committee?

Who are the admitted members who own, and run,
Elk Konnected?

Who is their Leader?

In my opinion the lack of definitive answers regarding Elk Konnected, LLC reflects the reality that nobody knows anything about who owns them or who the admitted members are or the admitted members are ashamed of being admitted members? It would be nice to have some clarification.

Gene Kelly's ranch is called the Wineglass Ranch.

You can add Bellar Farms and I am sure there are a few more ranchers you can add, not just the Perkins family.

...I am sure there are a few more ranchers you can add, not just the Perkins family.

I'm confuzzed.  Where are you going here?  If the Perkins clan were at issue, I surely wouldn't have missed Mac-O-Chee Farms, LLC and the myriad of tangled corporate & trust holdings involved in that package?  Why do you single out the Perkins family?  And is there something particularly Konnected with Wneglass or the list provided by ddurbin?

Patriot, it's getting pretty quiet here.  Guess I'll do some research..........

According to a small article on the "Prairie Star" web site dated Sept. 23, 2009,
I read the following snippet:  http://www.taylornews.org/pst/2009/09/23/wellness-center-opens-in-howard/#more-995

"A new wellness and fitness center has opened at 129 N. Wabash in Howard, operted by Elk Konnected. The building is owned by See-Kan which is leasing it to Elk Konnected, LLC. The mission of See-Kan is to enhance the quality of life in Southeast Kansas by providing leadership, education, and communication to help find solutions and resources for community needs. Elk Konnected, a familiar name in Elk County and the surrounding communities, is a community development program designed to promote strong families, solid education, and a superior lifestyle. The Community Wellness team will have a float in the parade this weekend during the Elk River Festival activities, as well as host an open house in the building on Saturday."

Now I haven't been following this thread and I'm not too crazy about going through all of the past posts to find out the following:

in simple terms, like 25 words or less, will someone please explain to me why they think Elk Konnected LLC is so bad for Elk County?  The Wellness Center sounds pretty good to me. 
Just curious.
