How many politicians does it take to sign a proclamation?

That's the question that came to mind when I saw the front page picture in this week's South Missourian News of the signing of Thayer's Ronald McDonald House Week proclamation.

The picture is of mayor Allen Deckard. And Municipal Tax Collector Janice Tolar. And Municipal Clerk Rosie Simpson. And "city employee" (meaning City Manager Administrator) Gary Barton.

Think of that the next time you see a road crew with one man working and three men leaning on shovels.
