I think not!<br /><br />I for one will not vote for any bond money for the district unless it is for more pay for the men who run the trucks. and that would have to be a guaranteed item that the men would get it.<br /><br />I remember when they wanted more money to remodel the stations and we the citizens were lied too when they knocked them down and built new stations. building new stations is not the same as remodeling.<br /><br />that tells me something crooked was going on with the fire board.<br /><br />I think it's time for the district to start having board meetings when people of this city can attend. I never see them on the government channel? where do they hold these meetings? maybe at the presidents house?<br /><br />if they hold them during the day are they open to the public? if it is why not hold them in the evening when the working people can come to the meetings. maybe their afraid to have to answer questions.<br /><br />now I see in the kc star the chief is retiring the end of December and the fire marshal is going to take over.<br /><br />and said he will do the job for free! chief Mawhirter said what does that tell you about this guy. plus I read a press release the other day about this and it was released by the guy who is replacing the chief. so this guy like to blow his own horn huh!<br /><br />don't we have a assistant chief? why isn't he stepping up to that position?A Concerned Citizennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-12451953890538472622013-11-01T22:26:13.748-05:002013-11-01T22:26:13.748-05:00The trees were simply vibrant in Raytown today; sa...The trees were simply vibrant in Raytown today; saw one with 5 different colors.

I for one have nothing against farm animals or farmers; and Bower has been in my opinion a poor example of a Mayor. However, certain people take those who show something other than them very personal and start name calling. And by the post have a personal vengeance towards Bower. So in keeping with the Theme of things let me say " this wise old owl knows Bowers days of ruling the chicken coop are numbered and the sheep will graze in lush pastures again soon especially if the sheep don't panic and realize the farmhands (citizens) own the farm and not burden themselfs with self inflicted expensesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-38043297579633130162013-11-01T13:16:49.965-05:002013-11-01T13:16:49.965-05:00Okay, the cost of the audit has been established.

And ...That State Audit website is very informative! And I searched back they previous blogs and Facebook sites as to comments about this and found many interesting comments. One person asked exactly what all was being audited and why citizens were not considered in the initial request for forms. The State site states request forms by law must state an estimated cost on the face of the petition form which is calculated by historical records of audits of towns, cities , of same size with same questions to be revealed that is why the scope of the audit must first be asked by the petitioner before legitimate petition forms with estimated cost on face can be sent out to be canvassed for signatures. Like saying I want to buy a car how much will it be? Gotta know what type ie small large SUV sedan etc before you can get an estimated cost and decide before you sign on the dotted line and start making payments.

I did not see your previous post about the State Audit but by other blog comments knew I must of missed something. I did go check it out as you suggested and was surprised that a RECOMENDATIONS is the best they do. First the city takes our money and throws it away then we would be taking more of our own money and throwing it away just to know where our money is thrown to?
