    Bill Gale is one of the most trustworthy and honest public figures in Kansas. He is a friend to all citizens and does not need to brown nose. He is professional, accessible and efficient. Criticizing the good harms us all.

    Lonny – I agree. I and others I know have had dealings with his office and everything I have experienced or heard about has been good. I sometimes refer to Bill as a ‘bean counter’ – and do NOT mean that in any negative way.

    I agree with Lonnieplumber and bth: Bill Gale is truly a servant of the people. Lonnie’s adjectives for Bill are perfect: professional, efficient and assessible.
