A great company bringing the right kind of jobs to St. Joseph. Awesome!

Dear God, what are these people thinking? Does no one learn from the mistakes of other company's employee's (most recently Smurfit-Stone)? What possible benefit could there be for union representation? Better working conditions?? Really? Will the union get them a cushion for their seat?
The unions have been (and still are) killing this town. Please use your heads, with unemployment nearing 10%, is demanding more money the most prudent negotiating tactic?
Many people need jobs, and they'll happily take yours...

mm1967,
Lawsuits can actually go very far with little or no evidence at all. The evidence is presented at the trial, so a good he said/ she said is often all it takes to get things rolling (and expensive). Even getting the trial tossed out on preliminary motions often cost more than just settling. I know nothing about this case or the individual filing suit, but many in this town have turned filing discrimination claims into a part time job.

Roger Tietz is correct. The facilites/courses at Duncan Hills and Mozingo are far superior to that of Fairview. Mike's a great guy and deserves our thanks, but there has to be a compromise to this to allow more funds to go back into the golf course.
Most pros only receive revenue from the course pro shop. Perhaps $70,000/yr with pro shop revenue along with a $1 or $2 increase in green fees would be acceptable?

Mom – I’m not assuming what you said, I’m just reading your posts. All your posts…
September 17 – 9:59am you posted : “I agree with the Mayor and DO think it is his job to get involved. I support him 100%.I voted for him because he does care and instead of talking politics and worrying about himself and how it will look he says what needs to be said, what he means and says it straight.”
Well, what’s changed since then?? You need a new hero Mom.

Mom - Look up ego in the dictionary. That is Ken Shearin personified. Over the course of many years, many incidents, many past customers, many previous employers and many boneheaded statements he has made (since in office), Shearin has shown his inability to conduct even the most civil of discussions with anyone that disagrees or crosses him. It's truly heartwarming to hear how you and so many in this town look to him as your savior, your Robin Hood, the one individual that has the ability to protect you from "the man". Unfortunately, he lacks the basic ability to communicate with a great majority of people. It doesn't matter if he's hitting a customer with a steak, or writing another "explanation" letter to the News Press, there seems to be an endless supply of people in this town willing to make another excuse for his behavior. The really funny thing is most of his apologists have never met the man in person.
I'll be the first to admit that Capell has some issues that he needs to work on; however the only person in this town that he can't seem to deal with is Shearin. Sherain's list is way too long to print

As bad as this sounds, it could be worse. The State of Oklahoma charges an annual $40 liquor license fee, with NO instruction/education of any kind. It's basically just a tax on an individual who choses to work in an establishment that serves alcohol.

I would rather see the city/county require restaurant employees to take a food safety course prior to employement.
