Payson Roundup

Dare I say, the Obama Administration and his unelected oversight czars.

Bravo Mr. Fruth in what you have stated above. I think that we all realize that a small local newspaper is vital in keeping the community informed on local issues. I know the Roundup has won many awards in competition with other papers of similar circulation. But for me, I would like to see a little less fluff about this or that local organization and some good in depth investigative reporting on current local topics such as the school board, school district administration operations, who are the money backers/developers of the proposed ASU college (if they really exist), what they expect to get out of it, and what projected costs to the taxpayers will be. Just printing occasional non specific statements made by a town politician or employee on such issues are not satisfactory in my opinion.

Pat, Fantastic idea! Hey, if anyone can obtain the work and complaint history specifics on an Arizona Police Officer, why not a newspaper reporter/employee? I mean the majority public relies on what they write, print, and the facts they use to support their articles. Some of which later prove to be in error on their part, or “half truth or facts.” You know, the rest of the story is missing which can completely alter the perception and outcome of an issue. Some people make serious life decisions by what they read or hear in the media. Example: The ASU campus debaucle. Way way to much secrecy and lack of public information on specifics. We should know who the secret investors, players, and where the funds are for this public college project that will long impact our community for good or bad. And the paper should be all over the town officials to provide it..

Did I see several Fruth for Payson School Board signs around town this last weekend?
If so, where can I get one?

DonEvans (don evans) says…

Yes, we demand equal outcome, not individual effort rewards. Please send us our govt. check.

DonEvans (don evans) says…

So what you are really saying is, there should be an equal outcome income guarantee? Your class warfare social engineering is so transparent. I'll rely on my own efforts to get ahead, not a monthly nanny govt. check designed to keep us in check…..

Just some personal insight. My wife's entire family was raised Greek Orthodox Religion, very tight knit, very religious. I was an outsider and scrutinized more by her family. Her oldest close cousin married a great Mormon gal, but he was compelled to convert to LDS in order to do so. Their kids have to be raised LDS. They live in Salt Lake, Utah. He started a business there. He told us that if you weren't in the LDS social and church network, you might as well close your business doors. But I say,so what. No different than the American Irish Catholics, Jews, Italians, Russians, Arabs. Each group focuses on helping and promoting their own in life, and in business. Cops, Doctors, Judges, Ranchers do the same thing in their own circles. It's human nature to network within your comfort zone and all very normal in my opinion. You just have to accept your individual limitations when your dealing with them if you are an outsider. I have found for me, you give respect, you get respect.

I'll add number #9
The US local, county, state, and federal prision populations would be reduced by thirty (30%) percent!

DonEvans (don evans) says…

Oh, just a slight administrative oversight? I think not. A gross example of incompetence. I think some administrative position cuts to balance the school budget are in order….

The name Chamberlain sounds familiar in the historical context. Wasn't he the guy that met with Hitler on behalf of the Brits and all Europe just before the German blitzkrige. He came back home proclaiming he had secured a lasting peace and non agression treaty from Mr. Hitler. AHhhhh, those rose colored glasses are so blinding to the Limoscene Socialist.
