  1. Pissed Off In Gasconade CountyFebruary 3, 2011 at 6:13 PM

    I wish Commissioner Lairmore would come on here and tell us what he plans to do for the unemployed in Gasconade County other than to criticize them for being lazy! A board member of the Gasconade County IDA and the GVEZ, Jerry Lairmore should be able to tell us what is being done to bring good jobs to the county. I wonder if he can?!
