"With yesterday's re-election of incumbents Presiding Comissioner Ron Jost and County Clerk Lesa Lietzow, Gasconade County voters sent a loud message that they prefer the disfunctional status quo of incompetence rather than stepping forward into the 21st century and facing the challenges which are before us.  That's a crying shame!  With the help of my friends and supporters, I intend to break-up the good ol' boys (and girls) club by defeating Jerry Lairmore for Southern District Associate Commissioner in 2012.  It is obvious that I will have to campaign hard and educate voters as to why change is imperative!"  ~ A. E. Newman (I), Candidate for Southern District Associate Commissioner of Gasconade County

Bible Verse Of The Day - Wednesday, 11/3/2010

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ – Philippians 3:7-8

The apostle Paul, who wrote this, was the crème of ancient culture. Highly educated, a part of the religious elite, Paul had everything going for him. But when he had an encounter with Christ, all of that faded away. Mankind values education and status, but God has a different value system. As important as education is, Christ is greater. As intoxicating as social standing is, Christ calls us to lay all of that down. It’s one thing to lay down sinful things, but when we see Jesus in His glory we’ll lay down good things for the sake of knowing Him. This was the call to Paul and it is no less the call to us.

As of 9:30 pm with 100% of precincts reporting ......

Gasconade County Presiding Commissioner

Ron Jost (R) 3,323 60%

Jerry Spurgeon (D) 2,178 40%

Gasconade County Clerk

Lesa Lietzow (R) 3,823 69%

Sharon Meyer (D) 1,733 31%

Out-of-State Sales (Use) Tax

No 3,552 67%

Yes 1,719 33%

It's a pathetically sad and sorry day for Gasconade County!  The voters have decided to maintain the disfunctional status quo and reject PROGRESS.  Too many "low information" voters who haven't really bothered to find out what is going on has once again resulted in less than optimum "good ol' boy (and girl) government"!  Blind, uninformed "goose-stepping" will not move this county forward and the consequences are dangerous and detrimental to the county!
