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!

"The census shows there are more than 308 million people living in America. The amazing part is: More than half of those people are Americans." ~ Jay Leno (12/22/2010)

A sweeping proposal aimed at cutting $4 trillion from the budget over the next decade failed to win enough votes Friday, December 3 to clear the commission President Obama entrusted to solve the nation's daunting fiscal problems.

The report from the 18-member deficit commission won the support of 11 members, short of the 14 necessary to be formally adopted. The vote does not preclude Congress from taking up any of the dozens of recommendations on the floor, but it virtually assures the proposals will not be considered as a single package.Co-Chairman of the deficit commission, Alan Simpson, a former Wyoming senator whose off-color comments got him in trouble several times over the course of the commission’s tenure, told reporters after the final meeting of the deficit commission he was going to “get the hell out of town and go sleep on the streets”. He gave a parting shot to those who cast doubt on the process employed by the 18-member commission.

“Democracy’s in deep trouble when the two most disgusting bodies in America are politicians and journalists,” Simpson said.

Bible Verse Of The Day - Sunday, 12/26/2010

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. – Luke 2:15-16

After the angel announced the coming of the Christ and a host of angels sang, there was the normal night sky. The shepherds could have just gone back to their business of watching sheep, but they determined to do something more profound: “Let’s go to Bethlehem…”. Many Christians have had a spiritual experience, but have they then gone to see what the Lord is doing in their generation? We have made the revealing of the Christ the end point, instead of the beginning of a journey. Now that you know that Christ is alive, what is God doing in your generation? Are you willing to hurry off to find it?
