 Construction has been Bobs love.
To take an idea, formulate a plan, consider the finances to complete the project, and then to work with all his might to complete the dream, this is what Bob will bring to the office of Presiding Commissioner.

 Bob considers every aspect of a job with equal importance. First he ensures there is a firm foundation established. Then, as the job continues he works on each and every aspect with equal enthusiasm.
This is part of his personal as well as his public life. If there's a job to be done, people to be served, a wrong to be righted... he's your man!  Robert never ceases to amaze. With the fervor of a child Bob built his own catapult to share with youth. Of course he had to try out his new machine to see how far and how high it would project.
Such is the case in all things he attempts. Think analytically about the problem, carefully plan and draw out the strategy, then implement it and let it soar on it's own. He's back! Thursday, two weeks ago, there was a protest at Christian County Health Dept. about the sale of raw milk. The news media was there and aired a brief segment on the 10 oclock news. The dairy man interviewed stated that he believed that he has a the God given right to produce and sell his milk, a statement which is certainly supported by the Declaration of Independance. A health deptment representative stated that raw milk is unsafe and any user risks getting a number of diseases including TB. This statement is at best misleading and shows a clear agenda by the health dept to stop the sale of raw milk.
I would like to share a few statistics to put a better perspective on the use of raw milk and raw milk products. According to the center for disease controll, In the year 2009, there were approximately 762,000 cases of food born disease. These would include eating of under cooked meat and contaminated foods such as spinich, lettuce, cantalope, strawberries, etc. Also, according to the center of disease control there are approximately 121 cases of food poisoning from raw milk and raw milk products. 762,000 compared to 121. In addition to this the CDC stated that the odds of getting TB from raw milk produced in the US is "slim to none" It is time for government agencies to stop harassing the citizens and yield to the rights of the people so beautifully stated in the Declaration of Independence. " We hold these truths to be self evident.....that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights,....... That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men". That is the purpose of government, to protect the rights of the people. One of the enumerated complaints against King George was " He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." That statement resembles what is being done by many federal agencies, EPA, USDA, DOE, and others. We do not need a county agency doing the same. Robert Palmer Good or Bad?
If the state forces Christian County to be a Class 1 county, the required pay raise's to county employees (including commissioners, prosecutors, etc. plus additional services that will be required to be provided) will create a need for nearly a 25% increase in revenue. Where do you suppose this money will come from? Since the county's revenue is from sales tax, we will all be paying a higher sales tax. I believe this is the most important issue which faces our county at this present time. I would like to work with the presiding commissioner and our state legislators to return this important issue to the citizens of Christian County. (Government by the people, from the people or bottom up, not from the state or top down).
