BEST OF TOPEKA: WOW! I feel so honored! I was going through my emails the other day and came across this award. So I visited the Topeka Chamber of Commerce website to get the award. The plaque costs $79.99 I guess I’ll just make a web page and save 80.00 bucks. I’m cheap !!! Myron@myownfaith2.com

Topeka KS government

TOPEKA CITY GOVERNMENT: 12/4/2009 3:03:00 AM Dear Topeka City governing bodies: As a tax-paying citizen, I feel I can contribute to help making OUR government more efficient. Remember, I’m a Christian Conservative blogger. I do ALL my work to the glory of OUR Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also ran for mayor back in Feb. 2005. I do have an opinion. CURRENT TOPEKA GOVERNMENT: Mayor (1) Manager (1) Council (9) PROPOSED TOPEKA GOVERNMENT: Mayor(s) (2) Manager (1) Council (4) CURRENT SALARIES: Mayor $ 20,000 Manager 137,500 Council 90,000 _______ Total 247,500 PROPOSED SALARIES: Mayor(s) – $ 70,714.28 (two) Manager 35,357.14 (one) Council(s) – 4 141,428.56 (four) TOTAL _______________ $ 247,500 Notice that the total salaries are unchanged. As the originator of this idea, I’ll only charge the city $2,500 to make it a nice round number to $250,000. J CITY COUNCIL REORGANIZED: The city will be divided up into quadrants. The north/south quadrant will be Topeka Avenu...

Topeka KS (city gov-t)

JUST AN IDEA 10/19/2009 4:40:44 AM Our Topeka KS city government is in a flux and I have an idea on how to make it run more efficiently. We should make some major changes. Here’s our current annual salary structure City Manager - $137,500 Mayor - 20,000 City council (9) 90,000 Totaling $ 247,500 in Salaries alone For my services I’ll only charge $2,500 for my advice. This will make it a nice round even number to work with, totaling $250,00 in city payroll. Remember, these city government servants are to be paying attention to us taxpayer citizens. We are your bosses in the final analysis. Here’s my projected future salary redistribution of wealth, as our current president likes to call it. City manager $35,714.28 Mayors (2) $35,714.28 City council (4) $35,714.28 ---------------- TOTAL $250,000 With our federal deficit in the trillions, I’ll not quibble about the math. Currently our Topeka KS city government is divided up into nine districts, with elections...

Room 235 w/Kevin McGinty

Room 235 I just finished reading Mr. McGinty’s Topeka Metro article in today’s paper. I couldn’t agree more about Mr. Hecht. For those who care, I made a web page for Rita Rookstool and posted it to OUR website. I have made a hyper link for Kevin too and he has reciprocated. Thanks my friend. I’m OLDER thank Kevin too! Surf on over if you feel so inclined. Happy (un)birthday to me, I turned 64 today. My birthday is 012345. A retail teller noticed that a while ago. How about that! GOD BLESS and visit us online if/when you find the time. Myron@myownfaith2.com Posted: 1/23/2009 7:21:31 AM

LOCAL TOPEKA GOVERNMENT

10/18/2008 6:14:16 AM I HAVE AN IDEA: (Plan A) I read with interest yesterday’s paper in our local paper regarding our mayor’s wishes and I have an idea. Sally get’s scared whenever I mention to her that I’ve got an idea. Her usual response is “You’ve always got an idea” or something to that. So, here’s my idea. Instead of having nine city council people making our decisions, let’s have four. The four civil servants serving our great city could be divided up into NW/NE/SE/SW and the quadrants would be divided by the Kansas river and Topeka Blvd. The elected officials would need be a Topekan and live in the quadrant they would represent. Come election time, the citizens would vote for ALL FOUR of the servants of our great city, the capital of Kansas, Topeka KS The next question would normally be, “What happens if there’s a tie”? That’s when the mayor casts the deciding vote. Read the local paper, cjonline.com and reply in kind if you so desire. Just ole’ Myron@myownfaith2.com

SUMNER SCHOOL

I HAVE AN IDEA: 9/30/2008 5:42:21 AM http://public.agenda.topeka.org/ItemAttachments.aspx?itemid=3657&meetingid=155 The above url is the sale of Sumner School here in Topeka KS. Our city wants to sell this historic structure to the highest bidder. I like it! If the city could sell this building, that would free up some expenses our city is going through. My only regret is I don’t have an extra 60 K to spare, or I would be buying this structure. I love history and I would fix it up similar to the Brown vs Board of Education museum. History needs to be preserved. If we ignore history, we’re bound to repeat it. Is there any Warren Buffet’s or Bill gate’s out there? When this structure is successfully sold on the web, then I would suggest we also do the same with TPAC. Are there any replies to this blog? Myron
