| Clark Kant Retired CEO and Publisher is returning to Hermann Hearsay to assist Jimmy Oldsun and Dick Schaefer with county government exposes. The job of reporting on county goverment has become enormous. Clark will help us get the word out to the electorate of Gasconade County regarding various issues facing the county. As evidenced by the vote on Tuesday of this week, the local media has done a less than adequate job of educating voters regarding issues such as lack of transparency, lack of accountability, financial mismanagement and wasteful spending. Clark will be working part-time and will contribute one investigative report per month. Hermann Hearsay appeals to CNL, The Hermann A-C and The Gasconade County Republican to also increase their coverage of county government. If the media doesn't report on the county's business in a truthful, complete and meaningful way, the electorate cannot be expected to cast their votes with the complete knowledge they need. |

Perhaps that is exactly the motivation behind the lack of detailed and pointed questioning and reporting. I do not believe it is because they lack the skills for the job at hand.
Like many of our ELECTED officials in Washington there seems to be an somewhat arrogant view that 'WE THE PEOPLE' don't know what is good for us, only they do. They forget that they were elected to represent us, not to try to ram things--that we do not want--down our poor pitiful throats.
"WE THE PEOPLE' need Representation not 'Arrogant Leadership'.
Glad to see another one of my Super Hero's is back on the job. Oh how I miss Underdog!!!
