Intrestingly or not . I do saunter up to my state, and local legislators, conservative or not, to express my views on topics of interest not necessarily discussed on AM talk radio. Um, not sure I have an AM radio to be truthful. In fact, talked just yesterday to MO Speaker Rod Jetton re: elimination of vehicle emission testing. Conferenced rep Harold Selby who is sponsoring the bill (MOHB113) to clarify the term of the contract held by Gateway Clean Air Inc. I believe we will see testing rescinded, but I digress....

Of course not all government workers are caricatures, but neither are they all exemplary. Like it or not, Len speaks the truth in many cases.

After attending a local City Council meeting, I was appalled at the way our trash hauling service contract was negotiated. No service level agreements, no performance penalties! I've contracted millions of dollars of IT services over the years, and it's unbelieveable what little experience our representatives have. Must have really poor (not in the billing category) attorneys also.

I agree, make it worth someone's while to take a government position. Oh, wait, we do! We just don't take the politics out of it.
