Right now, all we've done is try to get organized and bring people together. There were only six of us, but more will be joining. We haven't even really started talking about who will be willing to run. There will be more "getting togethers" soon. If anyone is interested in attending meetings, just PM me.

He means guys like minnow described, 1. Someone who fights to keep taxes from rising. Someone like Bleshan who questions excessive spending.
2. Someone who'll not let Gabe dominate them or someone who'll even fire that no good rotten SOB.
3. Someone who won't let the position go to their head and start wanting massive government growth like Springborg did.
Does that look radical to you? If that's radical north is south and east is west.

He was Human Services Coordinator in Price county. Don't know about any building projects he was involved in. Do know he was involved in a lawsuit there too.

Hoosier....
I would think you would be pleased that people were meeting and talking about this. I would say that the group should have formed sometime ago, but there is no going back. This is same advise I would give for any office. The person and group who is most organized and out early will go the best.
I sure would not look at a group of 6 people getting together to brainstorm as a back room deal but rather a good way to find candidates. Why not have an open meeting and post the names? Because as I understand it the group is going to approach people and ask them if the have interest, if they don't what's the point, however, once someone is going to run, I would get the name out asap. Why? If the candidate is strong, it will tend to keep others out. Now before I get bounced on, I am not saying that I don't want more people in, but if a person or group has a candidate, from their view that would be the best plan.
I always think it's a good idea for people to get involved in campaigns, either running or helping. This is the best way I know to get good people elected.

Thanks, repdan, we will be adding more people to our ad hoc group, hopefully all the time. The more, the merrier, right? No candidates have stepped up yet, although a couple might. We will be contacting people continually, as more people join the group, more names will be brought up. Again, thanks!

Repdan, I am glad, but not in secret. Is it against thye law? No. Is it unconstitutional? NO.
But, is it against the law for three commissioners to get together at Applebees for a drink? No. Is it unconstitutional? NO.
With the open meeting violations, does it look bad to the public? YES.
Are the commissioners to stupid to see it? YES.
It just seems to me that a group that is on the commissioners @ss for open meetings, and not having things out in the open, would be able to look at its self and see that they need to do it better than the commissioners. Otherwise, they are no better.
I agree with what they are doing, just not how they are doing it. The sad thing to me, is that Jim and Maddog must be to stupid to understand that it might look bad for them to meet in secret also.
And you all think these unknown COWARDS dont want, or wont have any influence over a person they support? Take a look at JIm and Maddog, after one meeting with these guys the two of them are falliing all over themselves trying to what these people wish them to do.
Maddog, remember the day when Tony Trow was trying to get to you? You asked me what I knew of him, I told you not to get involved with him.
All im saying is that some of the people that you two seem to think are gods, might not be what they seem. Number one, they are all chicken $hit cowards in my book, they want to influence everyones politics, but take no heat for doing it.
But, let people know who they are, might be someone here that can tell you all something you might want know about one or more of them. Or is that what they are afraid of?
If all you want is politicians like we have now, that are led around by the nose by people we never see or hear about, then go along with Maddogs and Jims choices.
Seems to me that the names are gonna change, but the result will be the same.
And like I said, I agree with Repdan, this should have been done long ago, but out in the open, in public, so everyone knows all there is to know about the commissioner they might choose.
Not in secret, with secret backers(COWARDS)that want to pull the strings.
Sorry, I just thought the people I got involved with were smarter than this, better than this, more open to the public than this. But what are they doing now? Holding secret meetings with little COWARDS. Sound like any group of people we talk about here often? You bet, our county board.
Also Repdan, I think you misunderstood the names I am talking about. I dont care who they contact to run, the people that decide to run, we will all know who they are. I want the names of the people that are choosing the people they want to run. I have no problem not knowing who they contact. And hey, its this groups choice to keep who they are secret. I am just trying to give a different perspective, maybe step into one of our critics shoes and see how others that read this forum might think of people that preach all the time about openness, and doing things so the public knows the whole story, but yet refuses to see that what they are doing is no different than what they accuse the county board of doing. Im on their side and it looks stupid, and bad to me.
If you want politicians picked by a bunch of COWARDS, go right ahead. Me, Ill either run myself, or choose someone that doesnt have COWARDS as backers.  Power to the people, not COWARDS!

Last time I checked, this was still America, people are free to get together and discuss ideas and issues. Several years ago, a person in the community was concerned about the leadership of the city. He invited me and my family to dinner and we talked about it. He did the same with several other people, he was trying to get more people involved in the system. I have no idea what good would have come out of publishing a list of people he was talking to. The meetings that are being held is just one way of getting people involved. Public meetings should be open for the most part, but there is not the same standard for private meetings nor should the there be.
