Gasconade County Jail Poll

Pubished by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor

Not to be outdone by our competitors in the local news media, Hermann Hearsay announced today that it has contracted with the highly respected Pooh Research Center to conduct a county-wide survey on the question "Should Gasconade County build and operate its own jail or detention center?" 

By the way, we don't even understand why this question is being proferred, since the county doesn't seem to be able to afford pay raises for its employees, new vehicles for its employees, white rock for our its washed out roads nor money for maintenance and preservation of our stately old courthouse.  Is this another pie-in-the-sky idea being "floated" by Southern District Commissioner Jerry Lairmore?  Recall that Commissioner Lairmore was the one who originally floated the idea of increasing our sales tax 1/2 cents in order to begin chip and sealing all county roads.  And where are we on that one, Jerry?

Representatives of Pooh Research Center will be conducting their telephone survey on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  We will publish the results of their survey (N = 1,000) next week.

Another unidentified online news outlet recently completed a survey on this very same question.  Their sample size was N = 111.  We will sample N = 1,000.  Their sampling approach was to ask for a response to a poll from the readers of their website.  This sampling approach is defective in that the only people sampled were people who just happen to read their website.  Additionally respondents were not qualified in any way whatsoever.  For example, were the respondents to their survey even Gasconade County registered voters?  Were the respondents "representative" of the entire county or do they represent a vary narrow community in the northern end of the county?  In our survey, the Pooh people will call out to randomly selected registered voters all throughout the county.  If they're not a registered voter in the county, they will not be allowed to participate in the poll.  Yes, we are taking this poll very seriously my friend!

Here at Hermann Hearsay, we will never be out-done, out-worked or out-polled by the competition!
