But there is no link to Steve Helms' campaign page for Circuit Clerk. Here is a site for Steve Helms:<BR/>http://www.stevehelms.net/Springfieldianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09959425892122607331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-85391065063032870122008-07-14T15:38:00.000-05:002008-07-14T15:38:00.000-05:00Please allow me the opportunity to explain why I a...Please allow me the opportunity to explain why I am firm in my support of Brooke Hobbs as my elected replacement for Greene County Circuit Clerk.<BR/><BR/>Most people do not understand the intricate workflow of the judicial system. The Circuit Clerk must have a strong understanding of the flow, as well as be able to teach the office staff, so that the public can be served efficiently and knowledgably. <BR/><BR/>I worked at the office counter, along side my staff, for 35 years. For 5 of those years, Brooke Hobbs worked by my side and learned from me. <BR/><BR/>I made myself available in this regard to the current office holder, Mr. Helms. He did not take advantage of the opportunity to learn about the office. Mr. Helms was quoted as saying, “it’s not rocket science."<BR/><BR/>A number of attorneys have recently expressed to me their concern about the lack of professionalism and knowledge in the Circuit Clerk's office under Mr. Helms.<BR/><BR/>I made a 35-year career of being Greene County's Circuit Clerk and was a full time servant to the citizens. Mr. Helms, the current office holder, has chosen to maintain his insurance agency making him unavailable to focus solely on providing judicial service to the citizens of Greene County.<BR/><BR/>I am proud to support Brook Hobbs. Brook already has the knowledge to assist the public and attorneys in processing paperwork through the judicial system. Her five years experience of working with me and learning from me, as well as 10 years experience working in the private legal sector, make her the only candidate qualified for the job of Circuit Clerk. <BR/><BR/>Greene County needs a Circuit Clerk who can provide full-time, knowledgeable service from day one. Brooke Hobbs is the only candidate capable of providing that service to the citizens of Greene County.Mike Carrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03270794830373087038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16974359.post-74413006736139381112008-07-14T00:00:00.000-05:002008-07-14T00:00:00.000-05:00I would be one to venture that Helms doesn't stand...I would be one to venture that Helms doesn't stand a chance over somebody that actually has credentials for the position rather than a failed house campaign appointed to the position.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, an appointee from a lame duck Governor that got absolutely smashed in his election (in a republican district) doesn't bode well for anybody.Smilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17304986381830287606noreply@blogger.com
