Thanks for making my point! Do you even think before you type? I just feel bad for you guys or ladies! As were on the subject of unappreciated sacrifices, Happy Easter! "Members of this club should be the ones supporting it." Sad, just sad!
Please if you have a suggestion for a building that is cheaper and has the same space or more by all means enlighten us. Honestly and regrettably this is the only town I've lived in that seems to have a lack of local business support for its nonprofit organizations. I donate have you? Wait, according to your post that would "wear"out everyone and is just a waste of money and apparently unnecessary to you? You listen to reason. Shameful!
John there you go again beating the same drum and leaving out a bunch of information. You with out a doubt spend very little time caring or educating yourself on what's actually going on in the city. It's the same old crap. Ok, then! I prefer my Mayor not to throw temper fits and throw stuff when they're upset at a meeting. I would prefer not having a Mayor who owns half of the city along with miles ( have no problem with any of Miles ) and is a major contractor within the same city. Who's family has a history of hiring themselves and cutting corners. ( See 4 comments down ) By the way this article is about helping the VFW hall! If you have a suggestion that would be incredible.
Glad you're going to have a discussion let me start out with sharing my God awful sense of humor. If I haven't made the sale with the FACTS and information presented, truth be told I probably won't. So,, NO SOUP FOR YOU!! ( Seinfeld )
Now on a serious note I've done work in the recent years with different VFW Halls and numerous veterans charities in the area and some outside of Kansas. A lot plays into whether or not a non-profit is successful especially a VFW. The City's Support and the number of citizens and quite frankly businesses that help support that institution. Why are some VFW successful ask the Business Owners. Who owns the main business in Basehor? Are they supportive of the VFW? ** It only takes 1 or 2 businesses contributing $100 or $300 a month to determine whether hey VFW or any other non-profit is successful. ( Tax Deductible, if they cannot afford that I don't want to hear how successful they are! ) Do we have as many businesses as Tonganoxie? We both know we don't..... Just think about it.
Yes, it takes courage to stand up and say I will not be a party to this corruption any more! ( Common Sense ) If he was a quitter he would not be trying to obtain the position of Mayor! Bottom line, I change my vote because I want to see if what he said is true and if he is going to put a stop to it and be completely upfront with all of Us!
Now whether you agree or disagree, I guess you can still have some soup. lol *** No matter who people vote for, I just hope people actually get out and vote this time!!
First and foremost how about doing what my family has done in the past and done also this year! Donate to the VFW hall. You know people that good for the community!
By the way, it's called information. I didn't accuse anybody. ( I see what people mean. It's the same tired old rhetoric ) You talk to me about smoke screens. I mean look at you both. You have to use an article talking about a non for profit organization in need of the communities help to try and get your little point across, Sad!
Those men have kept the Hall running for years and years with very little donations and help from the public! Thanks to those that do actually care and or donate. I'll repeat my first statement. It is "pathetic" you have to use an article about helping veterans as your pulpit! If this is the best you got good luck. David Breuer May very well win, but you guys are certainly showing your true colors. This is only 1 of several things I could throw out. If you want to support people like this go for it......
((Suburban Water Company agrees to lower rates, stop purchases of personal items)) By Matt Erickson August 3, 2012
Allowing for extra perks for employees and family members might not be unusual for a small family business, Christopher said. But a utility has higher standards when it comes to accounting, she said, because higher costs translate to higher rates for customers.
“It’s a family, and it’s a business,” Christopher said. “And the problem is they weren’t separating the business expenses and the family as well as they should.”
Breuer said the company agreed that some of the procedures identified in the agreement sprang from the fact that it was a private, family business, and that the company recognized the need to follow the same procedures a public utility would.
Another concern, Christopher said, was that the company did not have a formal bidding process for choosing repair and maintenance contractors and purchasing equipment and materials. Some Suburban customers had raised concerns about the company’s awarding of contracts, she said, because several of its vendors are also owned by members of the Breuer family. But Christopher said that was not a problem in itself.Friday,
If you honestly think running a business is equal to being able to keep, I say again keep a nonprofit organization going as long as Fred and others have is a weakness. Then reasoning with you is out the question.
If you think standing up and saying that you are not going to the party to corruption anymore is weak, and not confronting any of the obvious problems is strong. I'm SO Glad I changed my vote for Mayor!! Because that's exactly what I see going on currently.
There are a 1000 of these stories, but maybe this will help you understand why people have a problem with 2 major city leaders owning most of the large businesses in town. ( Nepotism laws )
( 1 ) Rita A. Rhoads had been mayor since 2008. On Monday, Prosecutor Eric Zahnd filed a civil action to remove Rhoads from office for violating the Missouri Constitution’s ban on nepotism. Rhoads agreed to pay $100 to her son-in-law to fix a city sign despite knowing that the law prohibited her from hiring him to do work for the city, Zahnd said. Circuit Judge Owens Lee Hull Jr. found that Rhoads violated the state constitution and removed her from office. A city employee had warned Rhoads that she could not hire her son-in-law, but she persisted anyway, authorities said “I don’t care,” Rhoads purportedly responded. “They need the money.” ( July 14 BY GLENN E. RICE The Kansas City Star )
( 2 ) Allegations of nepotism are nothing new in Kansas government. In fact, the 1991 anti-nepotism law itself was inspired by Gov. Joan Finney's hiring of her daughter, Mary Holladay, as chief of staff. In a state with a relatively small population and an even smaller group of elites, the same business leaders, lobbyists and politicians bump into each other on a regular basis....... Sometimes, Kansas politics seems like a clannish affair. Close relationships sometimes get politicians in trouble. ( Posted: By John Hanna The Associated Press )
Paul: stated ..."Any other Department and he would have been fired. I think he is still on Duty because his Daddy is a Sergeant at the Mission Ks Police Department." //That's good information. I don't think we need a personal attack on this young man. I know a lot of officers, this is highly unusual especially if he's a new officer. ( ? )
Rong: your comment is disgraceful, Desperate, and pathetic. Comparing running a non profit organization (( during a recession )) that helps veterans to being mayor of our city. If David has any honor he would get on here and give his own remarks. Shameful!
OMG, It's called my wife, and a couple of our neighbors! I have never met this Washington guy you keep bringing up over, and over, and over. You absolutely crack me,, oops I mean us ( the Washington gang ) up, it's to the point now that everything you write is a complete joke! Please get a different teleprompter for God sake! Now back on point, everyone needs to pay attention to what's actually going on and stop playing sides. This is not High School John!
