I am sure these slimeballs probably don't care and have no feeling for the kids and families they harm but if you want to read about the devastation that drugs and illegal substance wreak upon a family feel free to read my blog about parenting an addict. www.parentsofanaddict.blogspot.com .
Today my son is clear and sober since July 2010. Go back in the archives of my blog to see what people like these two do to our children.
I am so glad you know it all. First of all I have NO connection to the Basehor Police Department or anyone in city government.
So, I guess you wonder why would he write about policy administration and what is allowed by council members? I am a Director of Human Resources for a local manufacturing company that also provides for the HR administration for 4 subsidiaries. I have over 25 years experience in HR administration, policy development and administration. Plus, in the past I have been an elected community official so my experience with executive session rules and laws and KOMA, (Kansas Open Meetings Act) is beyond chat over the backyard fence.
I've provided you an answer to your accusations. Now waiting for your apology and retraction.
Sorry but I don't get your point. I don't support clubs and social groups in which I do not belong. I am sure there are organizations and charities in which I support you may not financially contribute.
I make no moral judgements on your choice of charities, right or wrong. I am sorry you do not have the same respect for others.
You write as if everyone has an obligation to additionally financially support this club. I hope you don't mean to sound that way. However, in fact everyone does support this club, they receive a donation of Basehor citizens tax dollars each year. So in fact everyone already does involuntarily contribute.
First of all, this is a personnel matter and personnel matters are between an employee and employer. In fact personnel matters are protected discussions for executive session of council meetings and members are forbidden by law to discuss what is said in executive session.
Secondly, disciplinary action for any infraction is covered by the personnel policies in place at the time. Those policies are in place for a reason, to protect the city and the employee. These policies are in place for the protection of every citizen of the city. If someone disagrees with the policies then it should be dealt with at a council session by council members.
If policies were not followed then that is wrong.
If reactive actions are taken that could violate city employment policies as some suggest in these comments that could be setting the city up for another legal mess like the screw up dealing with former city administrator Loughry. Of course a lot of people have all the cut and dried answers but accept none of the accountability.
I donate regularly to various charities. The VFW is not one of them. If the VFW is such a valuable organization then the members of this club should be the ones supporting it financially. They should stop counting on everyone else to fill their budget and pay for their building.
If you believe that nepotism laws have been violated you should go see the county attorney. Maybe that hasn't been done because nepotism laws have not been violated and this is simply a red herring when there is nothing else to hang your hat on in this election.
The facts are Fred Box has been the VFW organization leader and this organization has persistently in financial trouble under his leadership. Fred Box was a council member that resigned in the middle of his term, how was he representing his constituents by resigning in the middle of his term? Now you want those issues ignored or not brought up
If you have credible accusations of malfeasance by the current council or mayor then bring them forth to the county attorney and stop throwing up smoke screens that are irrelevant to the real issues.
Armystrong: The facts are the facts, there is no debate especially when it comes directly from his own mouth. In addition he is a quitter. He resigned mid term during his last elected position. Is this really the type of management and behavior you want to reward with a vote?
Maybe what is going on with the current city government is not to your and others liking but couldn't a better leader and accomplished manager be recruited to run for this position?
I myself feel it is fair to take into consideration what a person has done lately and accomplished before standing behind them for a position this important. I am not ashamed or apologetic for asking that question.
So the commander of a VFW hall cannot seem to manage the budget of a non-profit organization. By his own admission it is now at the point that it is losing ground every month and is in danger of losing its building unless the city and public bails them out.
This is the same person that wants to be mayor of the city and to bring those same management skills to Basehor City government.
Breuer elected as Basehor mayor
LR, maybe you should go back to school and take a few remedial math classes and learn equations in relation to figuring percentage.
Maybe this is why your arguments for changing things lack credibility.

This is all much ado about nothing.
