The Governor reads my blog!

They say never write anything you wouldn't want your mother to read! What about the Governor?

I posted a lengthy if disgruntled article about the Housing Authority of Kansas City I recently received a comment from someone calling themselves "Guvnah". I know anyone can post anonymously and call themselves anything they want.

I answered the question they posed and thought little more of it. Then today I was looking over my Google Analytics account. Seems I had a spike in website traffic from the State Capital, from an The Office Of Administration. I tracked this traffic and the two spikes in traffic came the same days as the question and the response.

I wasn't quite sure what the Office of Administration was so I called my State Rep, who happens to be a friend of mine. He told me it is the Governors office that oversees the budget. Hmmmmm! Is the Governor looking into making some changes to the very troubled Housing Authority of Kansas City.

Lets hope so, as you can see from the article I wrote a year ago... the system is broken.

Jay Nixon has a history of seeking out and correcting inefficient government and working to correct the issue. In these tough economic times I'm sure Mr. Nixon is looking to make the state much more efficient.

If only the politicians had the good sense to read our blogs. 

Sadly, most would assign that duty to an AA who will tell them what they want to hear.

You never know whose ready your blogs. It sure would be great if your blog was the inspiration for change at the Housing Authority.

If only all of our countries ills were that easy. We just write a blog and viola, the person in charge has their opinion changed.
