Who will deliver a political stump speech condemning Commissioner Penning at the Commission Meeting this Thursday?

I just can't sleep tonight!  The anticipation of tomorrow's Commission Meeting is killing me!

Who will the Owensville "Good Ol' Boy" Club run in to deliver a hate speech against poor Matt Penning tomorrow?  I'm sure CNL and the Gasconade County Republican will be on hand to photograph, video record and audio record the entire show if there is any excitement!  Charlie Brown will also be there to tape record whatever might happen for Hermann cable TV. Somehow Jeff Noedel and Dave Marner have a real nose for this sort of "explosive news".  It's really uncanny!  It's almost like they get tipped off ahead of time, so they can bring their high-powered photographic equipment and their camcorders!

I'd rather see Mr. Noedel and Mr. Marner report on the deficiencies found by the state auditors during their 2010 audit of Gasconade County though.  I'd rather see them report on the material substance of the ethics violations alleged against Presiding Commissioner Ron Jost by Northern District Associate Commissioner Matt Penning and citizen watchdog Mike Jacquin.  I'd rather see them report on the status of courthouse preservation and renovation efforts todate.  I'd rather see them report on the YTD condition of the 2010 Gasconade County Operating Budget.  Another really cool expose would be the status of engineering student Horace Brown's engineering study for the new emergency road needed at the courthouse.  Perhaps you will recall it was reported by CNL some time ago that Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore was directing young Mr. Brown on this project for one of his classes.  Eugene Jacquin has just about completed the site clearance on the property immediately west of the courthouse, so we'll be ready to start on that road just about anytime now!  I can't wait to see this road being constructed!

  2. Dave Murray tipsy? Ha ha ha!

    'Seems like it goes with the trade! Our own weatherman, Frank Furter, is fond of Crown Royal (when he can afford it). Last week he completely forgot to file his weekend weather report. 'Seems like Frankie boy went on a bender down at the Sharp Corner Tavern the night before his weekend weather report was due. He completely missed the publishing deadline and I was forced to have a talk with him!

  3. We'll have to wait and see if they report on this. I wonder if they'll print it as written or put a little spin on it? The good'ole boy's speech last week was quite the yarn! Snowman
