Gina Dahl has forgotten that she works for the citizens of Hill County and that she should listen to their concerns. <br /><br />Randy has shown his service to people by offering many hours of pro bono (free) legal services. He understand what it means to work for the people. <br /><br />Although he doesn't have experience within the county attorney's office, he has many years of experience in both civil and criminal matters, which help balance this issue.<br /><br />Lindsay has very little civil experience and many citizens don't realize how much civil work the county attorney does. Civil work is much more complex than criminal matters. <br /><br />I sure wish the candidates would agree to a public q/a forum.No Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519723252458946862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-39453760176874545252010-05-20T14:14:45.662-06:002010-05-20T14:14:45.662-06:00Okay no name, very interesting.

She has won a lackluster 30% of her cases. This is due to coming to court unprepared, skewed discretion in charging cases.<br /><br />Maybe Lindsay should spend less time campaigning and more time preparing for trials. Remember, it isn't about the perpetrators going to prison, it's about the victims getting no justice when Lindsay screws up.<br /><br />I'm not saying that I think Gina is all that, but Gina is the lesser of the two evils.No Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519723252458946862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-13835296411906825772010-05-20T10:46:37.890-06:002010-05-20T10:46:37.890-06:00Lindsay requested that Tim Leeds write the article...Lindsay requested that Tim Leeds write the article in response to Peterson's letter, which in turn, backfired.

I would likely use "Johnny Bench" or "Carlton Fisk." (Partial to catchers).<br /><br />I can assure you, I barely have time to rant as myself, let alone two or however many people you think I am.

And while those are all excellent reasons (close-minded, dishonest, obnixious behavior, etc.) we haven't done much to tell what Lorang and/or Randolph bring to the table. <br /><br />Perhaps a Lorang supporter could do just that. After doing some research I have discovered that Mr. Randolph has been a successful attorney for many years. His clients seem to be very satisfied with is work. People who know him tell me he is personable, wise and knows the legal system very well. Being "on the other side" probably brings a pov to the office that Dahl lacks. (not to mention common sense, a willingness to work with others for the betterment of Hill County and the City of Havre, etc.)<br /><br />Anyone else? <br /><br />When it comes to Lorang and Randolph, I admit it's a big of a gamble as it always is with newcomers. But as I have stated before, it's a (slight) gamble that we have to take.M.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11631892348974263532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-16797194567717586532010-05-17T11:17:59.992-06:002010-05-17T11:17:59.992-06:00Instead of just accusations what have these candid...Instead of just accusations what have these candidates to offer?Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610994123503933359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-63186471958845583602010-05-17T09:03:47.449-06:002010-05-17T09:03:47.449-06:00And this is the reason I stopped reading the Daily...And this is the reason I stopped reading the Daily Snooze.

I don't normally blog and certainly never thought I would get angry over what someone writes about me on this board. But Hillbilly's stab in the dark that I might be married to one of the candidates greatly irrated me. <br /><br />First of all, I am a female and Randy is not exactly my type either! While I do know all the candidates by site, I do not know any of them personally. <br /><br />Hillbilly will choose to believe what he wants, so be it. But if I were related to any of the candidates I would just tell you. If I had a relative who I thought would do a good job, I would just say "my cousin would be good" or "my husband would be good." <br /><br />I don't know who you are hillbilly and I don't care. But let me assure with 100% certainty you have no clue who I am. If you choose to vote for the train wreck known as Gina Dahl, more power to you. But don't come bitching to the blog when you become or someone you know becomes one of her victims.M.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11631892348974263532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-46568776876944483962010-05-17T07:47:58.535-06:002010-05-17T07:47:58.535-06:00Ok Stephen - or Joe Morgan - or whoever you are p...Ok Stephen - or Joe Morgan - or whoever you are pretending to be today. <br /><br />But you do have a good point Joe why don't one of the CA candidates challenge the other two to a debate?

I can assure you that he is sooo not my type! If he were, my current wife and kids would be quite surprised to learn of my sudden change of taste! But I would give him a try as my county attorney. <br /><br />And one final response to your question "How dumb do you think we are?" Well, I don't know who the "we" you refer to is....and I really have no idea how dumb you are. Perhaps that could be the topic of a whole other section of this blog titled "How dumb is Hillbilly?"

...FACT: HAVRE HILLBILLY IS GINA DAHL'S BROTHER!<br /><br />This is probably not a fact at all. Actually I just made it up. But I hope it proves a point. I have stated on this blog twice that I don't know much about Lorang or Randolph. (I can honestly say I wouldn't know Lorang if she came up and slapped me, though I would find out in a hurry). And I think it's pretty obvious I am not married to the charming and personable Gina Dahl. <br /><br />The whole benefit of an anonymous blog loses its usefulness if clowns like Hillbilly are going to label everyone who disagrees with him as a relative of the elected official in question. <br /><br />I believe those of us who have a strong disdain, distrust and any other dis-word you can think of for the affable Ms. Dahl have stated our reasons why quite eloquently. (except for shawnsretroworks who should have refrained from using such language. Though I agree with everything else he said.) If Hillilly disagrees and thinks the stateswoman known as Gina Dahl is the right choice--GREAT. But there are plenty of people in this town who disagree, and the vast majority of us are NOT related to any candidate at all. <br /><br />SO Hillilly I am asking you nicely to refrain from referring or accusing me, Stephen, as a relative of any candidate. If you have 100% proof of someone being related, great. We need to know if someone is truly biased by blood. Otherwise I suggest for the sake of this board and your shrinking credability, you keep to the facts and topics. <br />Furthermore, thank you for the tip about Lorang's husband slinging mud. If I see his name on the ballot, I will NOT for him. <br /><br />Thank you.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04143076937989405053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-82451530560257725482010-05-16T14:45:03.839-06:002010-05-16T14:45:03.839-06:00Why would anyone vote for Gina?

Fact; Gina is the felony queen. Handing them out when not needed. Fact; shes also a bitch! Fact; Randy is a nice and decent guy. He has a lot of experience in the court room and he deserves a chance.

I also can't quite figure out WHY the Daily News or anyone else in this town would want Gina Dahl in that position......<br /><br />Not saying the other two are stellar candidates but by comparison with the dreaded Dahl, they are fantastic.<br /><br />I still can't decide Lorang or Randolph but today I am leaning towards Lorang......M.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11631892348974263532noreply@blogger.com
