as of 1:45 on Friday, Jan. 16 No one has filed for city commission or for the school board.
The deadline is Jan. 27 at noon.
County Clerk Karen Brooks said a lot of people do file at the end, but it is a bit unusual to be this close to the deadline and not have any.

Now look what you naysayers have done. You expect people with no political or personal agendas to sign up for city commissions? Of course not. Now we can only hope that a coupe of business owners who can profit from giving themselves city jobs without bids will sign up before the deadline.
and yes, that was sarcasm.
What does it cost to run?
your life
The filing fee is pretty low. Like $25 or $50 or something.
Then you have to spend to get the word out, advertising - paper and radio - signs up everywhere, flyers, brochures maybe.
probably at least $500
but you might get that donated.
Why advertise if no one is running? There you go JJ the fear that I will try to run unapposed should spook some people into signing up.
who the heck wants to run with all the pissy attitudes around here? we've squewered and roasted everyone that trys to help the city. just curious-what happens if the current commissioners don't run again and no one else does?
Whatever works Zach :)
Its a good question. what if no one ran.
I dont know.
remaining commissioners could appoint someone i guess ?
or there just wouldnt be anyone.
Dotty and Mell would be in absolute control.
What are the requirements? Can I run?
Live in the city and be a registered voter I believe are the requirements
Have to be over 18
no felonies. resident of city
Oh yeah, that's what we need, for Kuhn and Smith to appoint some of their buddies.
You notice that McDonald and Hockenbury hardly ever catch any flack on here, and that's because they try to act on the will of the people, not the will of their friends.
I sincerely hope Joel and Patrick run again, and can tough it out until the next election when Dottie and Mel will be tossed out on their duffs.
Maybe then we can move forward.
I would vote for a real dead rabbit before I voted for Zach.
Dead Rabbit means strong individual so I hope we all take his advice when heading to the ballots. Vote for a leader with the strength and conviction to help pull us through our time of need. I just wish everyone was a Dead Rabbit.
Hey JJ this is coming up and may be fun to see what comes of it.
Two weeks from today, Tuesday January 27th, is Lewis Carroll’s 177th birthday. Carroll, you’ll recall, wrote about a girl who fell down a rabbit hole and found herself in a place where all the rules had changed. In two weeks, on Lewis Carroll’s 177th birthday, you should do the same.
That’s right: the 5th Annual Rabbit Hole Day is coming.
When you wake up on the 27th, instead of writing about your usual work and school and politics and friends and news and stuff, experience life down the Rabbit Hole and write about the work, the school, the politics, the friends, the news, the stuff that you find there instead. Travel through time. Turn into an animal. Flee from assassins. Talk to your goldfish. Conquer Greenland. Sprout some extra limbs. Learn how to walk on water. Marry an insect.
Take a break from the Every Day and write about your Rabbit Hole Day. Your normal life will be waiting for you when you get back.
might give it a try.
hmmmmm
It's hard to imagine why any sane person would want to file to serve on a commission that gets beaten up by every armchair quarterback in Ark City. I'm not running, but I'm not throwing darts at those who do either. You reap what you sow and many of you negative people have chased the good folks away.
The thing I find funny is the more I hear negative about myself the more I want to run. I had no intention of doing so before I started hearing how horrible I am. Guess that's just me though I don't really care what a bunch of anonymous people think of me. Heck for all I know it's one guy that lives in Oklahoma. One great thing about Mel and Dottie is that both really don't care about what names they are called. Never has slowed them down much huh? In fact it may have even fueled them a little?
Well it would be a good experience to run.
Wouldnt cost all that much. Youd probably spend that on something else anyways :)
But if you won, you would have to spend a lot of time at it. meetings and such. as well as other functions. Those who have been in office all say it hurts their business because they spend so much time on commission business.
I do think it would be good for everyone to do that at some point in his or her life time.
If i didnt work for the paper, i might.
Would be too much of a conflict of interest.
Can you imagine what the boo birds and naysayers would be saying :)
i will donate the first $50 dollars to zACK dead rabbits campain, if he promises not to become a mason if elected
Haha I already am a mason though I think I forgot to pay my dues for this year. Seriously why does everyone fear the masons so much?
@ dead rabbit
Masons, eat children - duh.
and german shepherds apparently
Dang that's why those pancakes tasted funny
Dang you I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.
Yum
They drive around in parades in little buggies with monkeys on the hood playing the cymbals while others wear middle eastern clothes and swing big swords around, some even have big noisy cannons.
No seriously, Masons do lots of good stuff for kids and communities.
i guess its just because its kind of a secret organization thing .. that gives people pause and raises suspicion.
finally done with saturdays paper.
let me know what you think about my column
its almost a jan. 27 type of thing
im getting into that idea ...
You should run Zach. That way you can put a stop to any big box stores that might hurt your business before we even get to hear what they are offering. You Should get Curtis Eaton to be your running mate. And maybe his lawyer too, if he's not too busy.
Wasn't Alice's Adventures in Wonderland a big thinly veiled drug story?
@ 10:20
I thought those were Shriners? Shriner's scared me as a child.
In drug culture, "going down the rabbit hole" is a metaphor for taking hallucinogenic drugs.
Now I see your fascination.
Quote- "Dotty and Mell would be in absolute control."
Oh now THAT'S a scary thought!
Wow you guys are stretching a bit to insult me now. Sad that you have to try so hard. Tell ya what I'll pee in a cup or give a hair sample to anyone that would like to pay for it. Oo and more jabs from Llowe's supporters dang guys get some new material really all you are doing is repeating the same ole song and dance over and over.
dang guys get some new material r
Ok, You're ugly too.
just kidding
That I am.
Think about what your doing. There are some egos here that do not need any encouragement......

Zach Bryant For City Commission
YES! Zach Bryant for commissioner.
We have had enough anti-Zach comments. What this city needs is a Pro-Zach attitude!!!!!
i take back my offer Zack , I had no Idea you were one of them
That's ok we will continue our fight for world conquest through pancake feeds and child identification without your support bwa haha
Can you identify the children WHILE they are eating pancakes.
Now that would be the trick.
That's when we ear tag them and start the brainwashing process. Ultimate goal is to get them into the pancakes. Along with the German Shepperds.
Makes sense.
Ill bet the German Shepherds like the pancakes too.
Though id imagine they are not as partial to maple syrup.. probably prefer some german type covering instead .. streussel maybe..
But im still not clear ...
do your shepherds eat the children
or do the chldren eat the shepherds
....
or maybe thats just a cover for the abduction by aliens.
the lions clubs are a front for the aliens... much more sinister than the masonites.
Leave the German Shepherds alone.
They are good farmers just like Kansans, They just herd sheep instead of cows. And dress funny.
pretty sure they are talking about dogs
I thought everyone knew they were only disguised as dogs.
Real dogs wouldn't be herding sheep
