I agree with what James said. But, I am so untrusting of anyone that's in public office. I don't believe anything we say makes any difference. If tonight's open meeting doesn't go as the board hopes for, what's to stop them from going into closed session and passing an emergency funding tax?

James Roberts has hit the nail on the head with his statement about raising taxes once again in Adair County. Who is it exactly that is responsible for overseeing the county coffers? Obviously, they are not doing the job they accepted to do. No one needs to be reminded about the hospital debacle, nor is anyone saying much about the two hundred THOUSAND + dollars that was grafted from the jail monies - which cannot be repaid.

County employees simply laugh, as they tell you, your taxes are going up while they use county equipment and inventory for personal use on personal property. Try to contact the County Judge Executive about abuse of county funds gives you no answers or half-truths. But I bet a dollar to a donut that she will be voting for raised taxes, yet the monies for those taxes will be coming out of the pockets of Adair Countians who have to go outside the county to find jobs to make a living as Adair County has minimal jobs that pay over $10 an hour.

Linda-I automatically start my day on Columbia Magazine. Your photos and captions are superb. Your photo of the squirrel last week must have made his/her Mama Squirrel very pleased!!

I don't think that it would be fair to collect additional taxes on the people of Adair County that have either lost or partially lost their income because of a virus that we have no control over or a government that has control over businesses that causes people to lose their jobs.

That's like saying I'm taking your lunch and your going to pay me so I can eat yours and mine. Doesn't sound very good does it? We vote for people to be good stewards of our tax money. When they don't or don't know how then it's time to go back home and let someone else take over.

Do you see any elected official taking a pay cut or donating a portion of their pay to help the fellow man? I didn't think so! All government entities needs a budget and needs to stick to the budget! Go ahead and add another burdening tax on us taxpayers and see what happens come election time! Just my opinion, James Roberts

Thanks for narrowing that down. A lot of the color photos and slides he put the dates on them and quite a few were dated as far back as 1961 unfortunately this slide did not have any info on it. We had moved out of the area in 1967 so based on your observations I think you're right probably closer to 1967.
