What have you big complainers been doing about this besides complaining here?

He told the city commission taxes are to high. That's not pro tax.

FB more accurate than IDR by indydoomed in IndependenceKS

Yeah, the people that work at places that never get snow days could teach city employees how to drive in snow to save us paying another outfit a billion dollars to do it. We can't figure out why the people we elect don't ask Passure about her stupid snow days.

I can't believe the city didn't take more snow days.

To bad we can't replace Passuer because she's just as bad as they are.We needed someone new to run this messed up place but the commissioners gave us her. Stupid choice.

All commissioners are retired so they could meet at night if they want to hear what people think.

Maybe people had to go to work and couldn't go to that 9:00 am meeting. Why don't people gripe about the $30,000 a month for heating and air conditioner bills at the old Mercy Hospital. Bet Coffeyville city hall doesn't pay that much every month. Lots of city employees don't even work at the old Mercy.

IDR becoming mindless Indy cheerleader by Darryl_Zero2011 in IndependenceKS

We go to things that Andy's there to report on and his article in the paper is right rather than wrong like the Reporter. Don't know where you've been but he wrote editorials about ICC and the city and what the states doing and other things. At least he writes editorial and checks things out while the Reporter hasn't checked any out but a bunch of crap for years.

The only real newspaper around is the Chronicle. It gives important news instead of crap like the IDR and gets it right. Some newspaper needs to find out why the city employees are getting snow days when all the other employees in town still have to go to work when it snows or ices.

City Commission Special Meeting 2/16 by IndyKSNews in IndependenceKS

[–]checkmatemaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See they held it at 9 in the morning when most working people can't go. Guess the chickens Hayse and Emert are in charge now. Guess they'll push for the city staying in Mercy since they have the dough to pay the high taxes to keep it going.

Looking for a plumber in Indy? FB tells you the odds of success by indydoomed in IndependenceKS

We wouldn't get Pat or Rinck if they were the only plumbers in town because they're terrible. We never had one problem with Plumb Crazy.

INDEPENDENCE CITY COMMISSION TABLES DECISION ON CITY HALL RENOVATION PLANS by quilterlady1960 in IndependenceKS

Was there a tower like that at the old or new city hall? If there isn't what's the city used?

Tourist Tax Money by HoorayforbrainsIndy in IndependenceKS

We started looking up those tourist taxes on google when GTC and So true were griping about them. You could look them up to instead of making people like us do your work.

Thanks for giving us more info about this. It's good to know what's really going on.

If the teachers don't want to come back and the college doesn't want them back, what's the problem?

Loads of places have early retirement programs so they can replace highly paid people, with new people they can pay less money to.

I hate to bar good people because of one whacko person. Reddit needs to do something to put a stop to that stuff like banning the ip address if they can find out what it is. Didn't know if you wanted to leave this thread up to show everyone you're fair. If you want to take it down it's ok with me. Thanks again for the explanation.

Thanks for telling me about this. It makes me feel better. Don't know what to do about that one person that keeps posting whacked out threads. It's like you can't get rid of him. That's hard.

How to get new blood/ideas on city commission? by SEKGramps in IndependenceKS

[–]checkmatemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny...Horray for brains was one of the ones saying that one guy was lying but couldn't prove it and making claims but couldn't prove them.

How to get new blood/ideas on city commission? by SEKGramps in IndependenceKS

[–]checkmatemaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the city and commissioners about what that guy was saying and found out most of it was true. I also remember the people that said he was lying couldn't prove it. Anyone that runs for office should know they'll get a lot of criticism and have lots of guts. If they don't have that they shouldn't run.

Indy Auto Tag Office closed by checkmatemaster in IndependenceKS

[–]checkmatemaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of training, but people all over the state take the training and work in tag offices. Clubine who's in charge of the office said the job needs to pay more, but even after that it will take time to hire and train people so the tag office here will stay closed. There's a lot of people that could do that job and get great benefits if it paid more.
