what a fun surprise to find this site on mckenzie county poverty today! i hope i am subscriber #2….how ever you sign up for that,please sign me up. thank you. i am for sure interested, thank you.
the cold hard facts are that, POOR people can’t afford the FARMER, so those ads didn’t go to far with poor people. people who can’t afford gas don’t go to “meetings”. nobody handed me any cards. i would be interested!
what do you think about a “round robin” telephone crew? would the “do not call” people who HAVE the money, put up a stink? (can’t win for loosin’.) or an ad in the bill that goes from the phone company? or ads at the gas station? are there posters up in the grocery stores? home-made cards to put up inside car windows?
would the “economic development” office have funds to advertize your efforts? what responsibilities does the economic development office HAVE with regards to the POVERTY members of mc kenzie county? i say, “give that old boy the boot, because he ain’t done nuntin’!”
the real kicker to sign up subscribers is to invite people to be private by NOT making their names public and i figure you’d have a ton of people, well at least a 1/2 ton, signing up. like one woman said some years ago, people don’t talk because “you never know who holds the note to their house”. i was dazed.

Dear Thin, Your fourth paragraph asks about our involvement with the economic development office. Please read Our Vision statement by clicking on Our Vision which is posted along the right side of this blog under Pages. READ all 22 of our the strategies formed by citizens of this county via Circle Study efforts, a spring meeting, over 300 questionnaires and a Community Decision Center of linked computers. You will find one strategy where the Horizons program will ask the JDA and EDC to include a statement about trying to help its citizens come to prosperity out of poverty.
Find it? What do you think?

“Pages” to “Our Vision” in the olive green col. is interesting but I nearly passed out wondering why do they wait until 2012? I might be dead by then. It also seems like so many words and if you are hungry it is hard to concentrate on all that. But I did it.
The “nice” people can “encourage” the job authority to put it in their statement to lower poverty,(I would have thought that should have been obvious YEARS ago), and the hungry people can drop by the office and poke a boney finger into his ribs….look him in the eye, and leave. Would a “good cop-bad cop” situation like that work together to leave an impression? Would it change anything?
There have been a number of times when I’ve worked on things and been VERY hungry, like 4 days of work and no food, but I DID it because, as is obvious, one needs the money.
