yes teddy was asked to come on here, i was the one who asked him. none of the commissioners that are in office right now will get on here and post anything for the public because they really dont care what the people want. the only commissioner i have ever respected was gary because he was willing to post answers on things we wanted to know about. and that is why i respect teddy because he is willing to do the same. i have known him for 33 years now and he would do a great job.
I know the name changes Rick, I watch what I post. I notice others have different names and I was exploring that option. I received a message with an elvis character after I had switched my name and I switched again to ask them how I can use it. I didnt ask for, nor do I want or need your endorsement. As far as the job I am a candidate because I know I can do better than what we have now, and I am qualified for the job, I would have already dropped out if I thought I wont do a better job than those who are also running. As far as paying taxes, I have paid personal property tax since I was 17 years old. Just for your information, as I have stated many times I live on my brothers farm. I live in a mobile home that I am paying for, so I don't pay real estate tax, my brother does. I am not a rich man like many of you, I have to make my signs for the job. It does not disqualify me from the job because I do not own real estate, so what difference does that make. I got on this site because I was asked to come on. I thought that is what you all wanted, candidates and the current seated office holders on the site to get their opinions. I liked what I saw on here so I have been reading to gather information and get ideas. What other purpose is the site suppose to have, other than getting information and giving opinions. I have received a lot of information about the law enforcement tax and I support a form of the tax because of what I have learned here. I have never suggested that any one is naive or that any one cant figure out who I am. My web site is on the bottom of this response and has been for a while. Maybe you should only be inviting people to the blog that feel the same as you. Maybe every time someone writes something they should say all the names they are capable of writing something under so we all know who they are.
Wait a minute, in one post you tell us you are Ted Helms and in another you write this, and I quote, "I was reading Ted Helms web site and it says that he is in favor of a sales tax." Don't try and pretend you were not trying to fool us by changing your name, you screwed up, people caught it and brought it to my attention. I was not being unfriendly in any way.. I was just stating your obvious error.. Judge for yourself people, go read his history of posts, but remember he was changing his name regularly.And another thing don't refer to me as rich, I am not rich at all.. One more thing don't say you don't need my endorsement again, I wasn't offering one, and you sure as hell won't get it thinking you can fool the people of Pulaski County. Now you have a reason to bitch about me.. Enjoy.
What happened to the be nice rule on here, maybe the site administrator should practice what is preached.

Gary has never once got on here and fed us a pile of bull.. He will always have my respect.. The successfully candidate on this board is not feeding us the bull.. I don't doubt for one second that he could be the man for the job, but don't come on here and insult the intelligence of the board members like some of the Commissioners have done, and not expect to have it pointed out.. The other Commissioners don't come on here because they know were not dumb enough to fall for their bull.
I would think that giving impact aid to Pulaski county for the lack of property tax funds would be difficult for one main reason --- the folks living on Fort Leonard Wood are basically renters or boarders --- renters living off post, be they military, college students, or just people who can't/don't want to buy are also renters and renters do not pay property taxes.
My question to Ted.... There is someone who is on the western side that never works a 40 hour week, He takes off early or doesn't show up at all for doing his personal backhoe jobs and makes it look like he has never missed (because he does the books himself) and sometimes he uses his tag along buddy that also works for the county so he is getting paid for both jobs. What do you plan on doing about these men? Are you going to make it all stops and make forsure these men are only getting paid for the hours they do work? What changes are you planning on making with these men if you were to make it in?
I have been an investigator for the department of social services, police officer and municipal judge. I have been slapped, spit on, screamed at, threatend and I have had dead animals hanging on my front porch. I dont much care for my character being questioned but I can take it. I am the first to admit that I have made mistakes, running for this office is not one of them. I truly believe that I can do the job better than any of my oponents or I would not have ran in the first place. Do you really want the current commissioners or candidates to come on this site to join in on your conversations? Are you really willing to listen to their opinions? I am not so sure. The reason I have not joined in on any of your conversations since the first time I came on is because most of you dont want to hear any opposing positions. That is my honest opinion, I am not bashing anyone personally. Just my thoughts and I am sure the thoughts of all the other candidates.
conservative democrat I am more of a conserv-liberal independent so I changed the name to Elvis 11.
If I remember when they replaced crismon it took 3 or 4 months just to find someone that would serve. You have to be willing to do the job you have to live in the district etc.
