Poll Closed - What will the price per gallon of regular gasoline be on Memorial Day?

Our most recent poll is now closed.

The poll question was:

"The price of regular gasoline was $2.95 per gallon in Hermann on Monday, 2/7/2011. What will the price per gallon be on Memorial Day?"

The responses we received were as follows:

• $2.95 1 (10%)
• $3.25 1 (10%)
• $3.50 3 (30%)
• $3.75 0 (0%)
• $4.00 1 (10%)
• $4.25 1 (10%)
• $4.50 0 (0%)
• $4.75 3 (30%)
• $5.00 0 (0%)

Note that one our readers, "Mike", astutely pointed out that we had failed to offer a choice below the price of regular gas on 2/7.  We apologize for that.  I suppose there is a chance (albeit low) that the price of gas on Memorial Day could be lower than it was on 2/7.  "Mike", I'm hoping for that, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it!

Or most recent poll is now closed.

The poll question was as follows:

Which Gasconade County Commissioner recently spoke out against paying the increased health and dental insurance premium for county employees and ultimately abstained from voting on a motion to pay for the increased premium?

The answer choices and responses were:

• Ron Jost - 0 (0.0%)
• Jerry Lairmore - 18 (100%)
• Matt Penning - 0 (0.0%)

Our readers unanimously chose Southern District Associate Commissioner Jerry Lairmore and they were absolutely correct.

Sad ain't it?!  An elected public official so eager toTAKE for himself (reimbursemen for personal legal fees), yet so very reluctant to GIVE to others!  You folks in the southern district of Gasconade County need to remember this when the November 2012 election rolls around!
