No I am not on council, nor do I work for the city in any way. However, I do support Basehor as much as possible. When I thought something was wrong I voted to correct it. (the recall) I am happy with our council as it is and I am happy with Box or Bruer as mayor. It just looks to me that some people will never be happy unless they are complaining. I have got into this "do you work for the city" guessing game before with people on this site. That is why I didn't comment for awhile. Apparently we are back to that. So I will see you all at the polls if you even get away from your keyboard and stop complaining long enough to vote! God Bless
I see approximately 6-10 people here complaining about our current mayor and/or council. However, I only seen 4 names on the primary mayor ballot and we have 2 council members running unopposed! If you want change soooo bad, make changes. If you just like to complain, keep doing what you are doing on a website that has absolutely no connection to the city of Basehor's government. You can log on here and use big words and famous quotes that make you feel good about yourself. Until any of the complainers are on a mayor ballot or council ballot I will have a hard time taking them serious. Good luck Basehor!
In one post you complain that not everybody had a chance to vote. I don't argue that the voting date was a mess that NOBODY could predict. However, your very next post you complain about a vote (recalling Mertz) that took place in good weather and the majority spoke loud in clear.? Just because a vote doesn't go the way you want, that doesn't mean it was improper or unjustified. If you're looking for a good seat to watch what you call the collapse of a city, I reccomend sitting in another city while we continue to push through tough times.
If you dont like our city or country, pack up and leave! The city is growing and developing after a few years of finacial downfalls. I am proud to live here. I am proud to know people in ALL areas of our city. Best of luck to both candidates. I know both well and either way our city is on the right track!
Was beginning to worry about MzR and/or LR... Been a couple days since they had a negative comment. Never seen such a negative couple of people in my life. How is that quote talking down to council? Council is not a full time position. These people have jobs and lives outside of chambers. 200 applicants would be a lot to do only meeting once or twice a month.
Answer to question 2: Because the city realized that our council screwed up. I am not saying Loughry didn't deserve to be fired, but you have to follow rules and contracts when you do something. Our council did not! Loughry was wrong in his actions but two wrongs don;t make a right!
I think we should all take a minute to thank Dennis Mertz! I just wish he was financially responsible for his poor decision and lack of humility. Next time maybe Dennis will listen to attorneys who actually know what they are talking about! Thankfully there is no next time for him in this city.
Breuer, Box win primary

Former police officer sues city of Basehor, alleging wrongful termination
Of course it wouldn't go to district court in Leavenworth! They are involved in the case with the battery claims. Yes "claims" not "Charges".
