Hold on a minute there.
If poster CrusaderFrank is gonna be in charge of handing out pink-slips, well, I'd like some input.
First, I think the world of our Township Clerk. We are so lucky to have such a selfless, dedicated woman running that office and overseeing our elections. She and the Township Treasurer are treasures. So hold off on firing them, Crusader.
And then, our Postmaster (actually a 'Postmistress', I suppose) Another treasure that we rural folk out here are lucky to have working for us. My RR mail-carrier is a really good guy too. I'd hate to see Frank pink-slip him.
And as long as I'm trying to save those who I think are 'value-added' to my family's well-being....lemme add some of the County folks who I know and have worked with for years: theRecorder of Deeds is another fixture in our governance, and she is a sharp, aware, and a skilled administrator. She runs a tight ship, and I like that. After all, out here in rural America where we farmers are frequently buying acreage near and not so near....well, knowing that Recorder has a tight trail on deeds and ownership and easements, well, that is damn useful. Damn useful.
I like the District Judge ...a lot. I admire that guy and his family. I know the Sheriff personally and he is absolutely the right man for that job and for those of us in the County. The community that is the County seat has a really smart Mayor. Public Administration degree from a Big 10 university, a Masters. He's good. Don't fire him, Frank.
And then widening our view....my local Congressional Rep for my District is a solid gal. Former DOJ lawyer....but humble, caring, and I like her attention to detail. We have met three times....once for lunch, just 3 of us, once on a follow-up project I was working on. I like the cut of her jib. She is good. So don't fire her, Crusader.
If I had a little more time this morning, I'd give CrusaderFrank a bigger list of our local 'governance-administrators' that I think are competent, caring, and serving my family well. Think of it, Frank, as sort of my personal farm-country Schindler's List.
In short, be very very judicious. We have a lot of really good and dedicated public servants out here in rural America. I'd hate to see some uninformed rascal in thrall to Gateway Pundit or Alex Jones or even QAnon to come in and fire those folks who do me and my family good. K?
