Just got off the phone with my best friends husband. He is an attorney and said this will not work and the date must be in error since the Magistrate will be combined with the Probate Court January 1, 2012. $40,000 for a attorney? Can we afford that???????

That proves a point ----Attorneys don't know everything. Combining Probate Court and Magistrate Court did NOT pass last year. So you will still have two separate courts, like it should be. Just saying---------

You have a problem John. You don't like Billy because he won't return your calls, why should he. You don't like Walter because you can't control the PJR and delete button. Face fact, your own commissioner won't return your calls. A $20 dollar blog does not make you a professional that everyone listens to. Grow up, now go bake a biscuit.

This woman should be run out of town on a rail

What woman?

I should of had her attorney. $40,000/ 20 hour work week and health benefits for the next 14 months. My optitions remain open to return to work for Pike at a reduced salary contract.

Perhaps you should have just had her work record and ability.

Knew it would happen. Big Brother does not know how to answer a question so he lets Little Sister take up for him. John endorsed Spencer, lost by 1240 votes and now expects Billy to roll out the red carpet and kneel down to a sick cat. John should concentrate on paying last years property taxes. Then call Billy.

News alert. The cat and company now have a spam filter. Guess they really had to upgrade since they have spam collectors, they are called jogging pants.

Now that is a classic. You have given me a reason to laugh today. I'll never be able to keep a straight face now at the BOC meetings or Planning meetings. May you have a wonderful spam free Thanksgiving.

I would like to wish Big Brother and Little Sister a Happy Thanksgiving. Neither of you know much about government or how it operates. Two people on a $20 blog do not control a county. For that I am THANKFULL and both of you are FULLFILL.

HAPPY TURKEY
