who cares about this I want to know why us taxpayers are paying a wife abuser Joe Koch a salary yet. Here is another reason we need to clean house down at the county commission.

Only a pea-brained idiot would care more about a personal grudge against Joe Koch than the value of a national economic engine like farmland! Listen up THE ENFORCER, and get a pice of paper and a crayon to take some notes. The US CONSTITUTION requires the government to give Mr. Koch a due processing hearing before depriving Mr. Koch of his job. Study hard. There will be a test at the end of the semester, but in the meantime, GROW UP.

Redneck sounds like your a wife beater trying to protect this scum bag. Due process would be a bullet between the eyes. Further I guess you feel the wife that was killed by her husband was justified? Law did nothing on that. Joe Koch should be suspended without pay.

redneckwatch who the hell are you calling a pea brain idiot? You who probably were lucky enought to graduate fifth grade. My grudge is with panty waist guys who like to beat on women. You stupid reject the government can give him the right to anything but our taxpayer monies do not have to be paid to him until he is again working if found not guilty. He should have been suspended without pay. Evidently Commissioner Reynolds is hoping he will be retained as this jerks lawyer. Evidently you have a more learned person posting this for you so go back to picking your nose and eating road kill.
