She says she does not want to be a lame duck and spend tax payers money on trips, etc.  She said other governor waste money on trips during the lame duck period.  What do you make of that?  She said Gotcha, twice, and winked during her news conference.

Last week Tom Gentry did a story called Performance makes a difference. When I was reading the story I was not surprised to hear that one of Independence Police Department's newest member of the Investigations Division, Detective Chris Arnold. Thanks to his passion in his heart to be a good detective he and Detective Mike Johann gathered enough probable cause to not only arrest several suspects but solve seven known burglary cases. To add to that it's believed their efforts will help in solving many more burglaries in the metro and will lead to the arrest of more suspects.

Am I the only one that has a problem with the Mayor and city counsel of Blue Springs going to the Elms Resort in Excelsior Springs for two days to hold an out of town meeting??? The city spent $3,300 of our hard earned tax dollars in another city to talk about the "vision for Blue Springs"  Why did they need to go out of town!!!!We don't have a good enough hotels or conference rooms with lunch in Blue Springs???????

Can anyone tell us about the smell from Sugar Creek??? I have been told it's because they hit soiled soil. We have to have more of a story. What did they dig up that could smell that intense to make people feel sick??? 

Mr. Robert G. Fisher's guest column "Turning to Socialism? Whiners seem to have forgotten history"(Examiner, July 1, 2009) needs a bit of clarification. First, Noboody is whining about creeping socialism. We are trying to awaken the naive Obama worshipers, such as Mr. Fisher, to the real threat of what this administration is doing to this country.

Last night I got  a phone call from my mother stating my father was in an accident but was ok, I of course immediately panicked. I said where? She told me they were at 39th and Noland rd. When I arrived at the scene my father was in the ambulance. I looked at the car and said mom I thought you were in an accident she said we were. Come to find out an off duty paramedic pulled into the parking lot and tapped my mother in the leg with the bumper of his truck. Of course he was on his cell phone when he did it.

Does anyone know if they are currently available and when the season begins?  My guess is in Nov.?

The City of Independence had Popsicles in the Rotary Park last night. What a fun time for all the little ones. Today we see Graffiti all over the pump house. Today one of my neighbors by my shop tells me the kids are throwing fire works under cars that drive by. I asked them if they called 911 they told me no because the police will not do anything. We know bottle rockets are all over my parking lot and yes this is normal because people have been brained washed into thinking they can't do anything about it. It has been a great adventure living and working in Independence.

Great news for the Independence Police Department or is it??? Toriano L. Porter's story Tuesday June 30th Cities benefit from AT&T settement. WOW what great news for our police department. The City of Independence if they approve the settlement will get their check in December. Now the city manager and the city council don't need the sales tax. That was great news for our police department or was it??? $2.4 million that should be prayers answered for our police department!!!
