Councilman Veis Loses Control at City Hall Meeting

Councilman Veis Goes “Squirrelly”
The Havre Daily Corrector would like to give a big friendly “shout out” to our favorite Havre City Councilman Jerry Vies. Sadly we learned in tonight’s Havre Daily “News” that you take exception to our articles that point out any waste of tax payer’s money in our fair city. I would think that a self proclaimed liberal such as you would welcome an open discourse of any and all matters relating to the expenditures of tax money in our community no matter the source. Shouldn’t our readers be allowed to comment on your job performance?

I find it amusing that you are continually dashing about blaming this or that various community member of being “that SOB” who pens Havre’s annoying but still anonymous blog. You even went so far as accusing your fellow council members as being the anti-city blogger. This is not Salem and we have no need for a frenzied witch hunt over something as trivial as this.

As a councilperson with a couple terms under his belt you should have tumbled to the fact that anything that happens in council chambers is nearly instantaneously spread throughout the entire City of Havre workforce via your very own internal “gossip mill” It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to find out just what happened at any of your council meetings. Of course wild eyed outbursts move through the “gossip chain” much faster than quite boring meetings and for that I want to personally thank you.

Luckily award winning Havre Daily “News” journalist Timmie Leeds “tamed down” the article for the paper so you wouldn’t look quite as foolish as your performance really portrayed. Now as Paul Harvey used to say, here’s the rest of the story.

As Monday night’s council meeting was concluding and had reached the citizen comment portion Councilman Vies handed out copies of the January 20th Havre Daily Corrector post entitled “CTEP Funds Burning a Hole In Havre Council’s Pocket” and proceeded to read the post to those assembled, stopping every line or two to rant about the Corrector person having “No Balls” and so forth. I won’t even mention the threats you made against the poor anonymous Corrector editor or the various threats you made in the course of your ranting towards “anybody you discovered helping this SOB from within the City Governments midst.” My personal favorite was the detailed report we received that you quoted the constitution extensively all the while bellowing that this anonymous editor should just move out of the country because he was un-American and again, had no balls. Vies then accused councilman Brekke and Woodwick as being the “blogger” and told them they should be ashamed for writing “tripe” against the council. He came to this brilliant deduction because Woodwick and Brekke voted against the waste of CTEP funds for the Atrium and the blog praised them. Vies then totally lost it and started pounding the table with his hand while bellowing about “anonymous no balls SOB bloggers” to the point that the blood vessels started popping out on his poor empty bald head and some in attendance thought he would need an ambulance.

No elected official including Brekke and Woodwick are immune from criticism, it just so happens that on this issue they got it right. Oh by the way Mr. Vies, as a big Corrector fan, you should know that you can go back and review my other posts where I have taken Woodwick, Long, Brekke, Trethewy, and Kaul to the woodshed (I especially love Kaul as a source of dum-dum articles) I’d mention Kaftan, but why? Also don’t forget Mayor Dim, who by the way should have never allowed the reading of an opinion blog into the official city record in the first place.

Now on to your call for me to come out of the closet and your “No-Balls” tirade. Let me remind you of a few facts about Havre that keep me anonymous. First, we have the ever favorite Democrat “boycott” of anyone’s business that dares speak out against a beloved Democrat. Of course added to that we also have individuals such as you that threaten to harm someone that has a conflicting opinion. Some nit-wits would even try to kick a blogger completely out of not only the city but all of these United States. The very lunacy you displayed Monday night is just exactly the reason why I will remain anonymous. Havre has it alright – more than our share of hatred filled whack-jobs.

However, I do appreciate you and the “News” paper promoting our blog. Our daily readership is nearly double our normal hits since the article hit the “Timmie Twisted News” column. We are sorry we upset you Mr. Vies but you really should see a doctor to see about getting some valium. You could injure yourself pounding on the desk that way.

If you hold an elected office someone somewhere is going to be critical.

Deal with it!

  2. lol, looks like the city council and havre daily are giving the corrector free advertising. Veis must walk around with his finger and thumb in the shape of an L on his forehead to blame an anonymous blog for his frustrations in the council. Im thinking readership will increase after that article.
    Go Corrector!!!

  3. maybe the council cheese could consider the corrector in perpetual "executive session".
    but, why would we expect professionalism from any public official.

  4. The blog does get way out there on occasion but it is just the writer’s opinion and everyone reading these posts knows that. It is also Gerry’s right to have an opinion but from the sounds of it he went a little overboard and lost his temper which isn’t unlike him.

    I would love to know who is writing this blog also but I understand why you want to stay anonymous. I have lived in Havre all my life and it is true that people here can be pretty vindictive and retaliation is the way of life in this town.

    Keep it up Corrector

  5. I just think it is funny that you continue to critique the HDN about their lack of journalism skills and you can't even spell Gerry Veis correctly. LOL This isn't the first time that your incorrect spelling of his name has been brought to your attention either?? Love em or hate em, Gerry tells it like it is and if you had a discussion with him he doesn't resort to making fun of your fat ass or bald head, unlike other immature bloggers. Anywhoo...I hope that HDCorrector doesn't sit on the council...that would be rather tacky to pen an anonymous blog that clearly shows your far right wing bias, while holding a council position...all the while harping on Gerry for being a liberal.

  6. Look at the size of the nuggets on that squirrel.

    Are you guys making fun of Gerry’s obsession with balls?

  7. I love reading the blog. It just relieves so much everyday stress by seeing how our local politicians function.

  8. Freddy you took the words right out of my mouth on the size of those squirells balls. Lol

  9. I agree with the Corrector on this one. You have to admit, other towns must look at our city council members and laugh. Instead of being a whiny butt pee pants, maybe JV should address the blog with a well thought out response to their accusations and show that he has the level headed leadership the council needs. Instead we get, "If I find out who's making fun of me i'm gonna tell my mom and your gonna be in trouble"!

  10. Perhaps Mr. Veis is already self-medicating. I really feel the council made a huge error in judgement on allocating the funds to private business owners. I'm sorry that you were so offended by my praising of Woody and Andrew for a decision I agreed with. It hardly was political, because last time I checked they are both active in oppossing parties. Start your own blog Veis, and don't let this one give you the big one.

  11. I know of many people that called different council members in opposition to using all of Havre’s CTEP funds for this project but this council (except for Woody and Andrew) represents their own views and not of those in the wards they are elected to represent.

    As far as the mayor is concerned he runs and hides when anything controversial comes up.

  12. Being a loudmouth doesn't give a person balls. Doing what is right like woodwick and brekee is what takes balls

    REd you should consider that the Havre Daily has those professional reporteres and this blogger most likely does this for fun so it's like comparing apples to oranges

  13. Hey redneck...You might want to direct your comment to the corrector...I am not the one who initally compared the HDC to the HDN. HDC takes great pride and considerable time to brag about how much better he/they are better at reporting than the HDN. I am just saying that if they are going to annoyingly and consistantly point out the flaws in the HDN, maybe they should learn to properly spell the names of those they wish to continuely bash!! And I thought it was poetic to hear you say that being a loudmouth doesnt give a person balls...you should know!!

    Why do you despise everyone so?

  15. Not everyone Joe...just get tired of your abnoxious gun rants...boring and a waste of time, nobody is taking your guns :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I didn’t even say anything about guns the last few times I have posted Red. You have all these bizarre opinions you post that we are expected to pay attention to yet you attack everyone else that doesn’t agree with you.

    I am glad to hear it is just me that you despise. I was getting worried there thinking maybe everyone in the extended Veis family had anger issues

  17. Listen Joe...you don't have to pay any attention to me, in fact I wish you wouldn't. Is it "bizarre" that I was simply pointing out the irony of how the editor of this blog is constantly criticizing the HDNews (which I am not a fan of either, but I showed my distaste by cancelling my subscription rather than starting a blog to bitch about them non stop) for their mistakes all the while making the very same mistakes.
    I have pointed out in previous blogs dedicated to slandering Gerry that it is GERRY VEIS and not Jerry Vies...seems fairly simple to me.
    I also pointed out in another blog about security cameras in bars the stark discrepency in their "facts" about how long it took to find Darrell. The correcter should either quit with the bitching or fix their own mistakes, or at the very least quit making the same ones.
    All the while I understand this is a blog, the Corrector can do what they want, say what they want and nobody is forcing me or you to read or comment on this blog.
    I read your posts on here and on facebook...there arent many that are not about your precious guns...and you think my opinions are bizarre?? Thats fine..I suppose???

    ReplyDelete
  18. I like you Red and I apologize

    Will you be my facebook friend?

  19. LOL...I often wonder...why doesn't the corrector blog on their own blog?? Odd isn't it?

  20. Keep stirring that pot corrector! I must start attending these meetings more often. Fk'n funny stuff.

  21. I just saw that Bill Thackeray gave you a free plug in today’s letters to the editor. What is ironic is that he claims your pictures are obscene. I have known of good old Bill and his antics about town since the 60’s and for him to declare something obscene is like the pot calling the kettle black. What a hypocrite


    I won’t even mention the letter by the anti-gun Val Murri as it is too ridiculous to even merit a comment

  22. Looks like this offended Bill, should have put a loin cloth over Mr. Squirrel. Wonder if Bill wore one when he streaked through Kennedy Park years ago. Just wondering????????
