Bob Kaul, Ward 3 Councilman, again went “Lone Ranger” without regard to any advice or council from his fellow city commissioners. As he has countless times in the past, councilman Kaul cited an unidentified citizen who supposedly called him with “safety” concerns for City of Havre Workers as the excuse for his current indiscretion. Bob Kaul apparently gets 5 times as many citizen calls as all the other commissioners combined, but can never reveal a caller'sname when questioned. The “caller” reported that City crews were violating safe bucket truck practices while putting up Christmas lights. Kaul said he immediately jumped into his “busy body mobile” and speed off to investigate, only to find the city crew gone. Unbelievably, Bob Kaul then called the State Labor and Industry department which regulate workplace safety, to turn the City of Havre in for OSHA violations instead of dealing with it in his safety committee or by first notifying the Mayor, which is protocol. When asked by Councilman Schend why he hadn’t first went through the channels of notifying Public Works or the Mayor, Kaul responded that “Petey” was out of town and he didn’t know where “Jens” was. When pressed further by Schend as to why he didn’t call the Mayor first before being a rat and turning the city in for alledged violations, Kaul responded that Mayor Bob wasn’t in his office and he didn’t know the Mayor’s cell phone number. Damn lies, is all this blogger will say to that. Mayor Rice campaigned on the fact that he could be reached at all times and continually advertises his cell number as 808-Navy. He even sleeps with the damn thing. Any intelligent person should be able to remember that easy number. Apparently Schend then “suggested” to Kaul that in the future he follow protocol and go through the channels like he was a member of the council or go back to being a member of the audience. Kaul, as you would suspect, became immediately hostile and even went so far as to then call the Mayor out like a school yard bully to “discuss” the matter further “anytime, anyplace” Sounds like Havre voters missed witnessing a very entertaining meeting. I wonder of Chief Nystrom had his hand on his baton in case a ruckus was to break out?
Voters will be happy to know that this rat-fink“turning ‘em in” is bringing a full-scale investigation team to Havre to go thru all City Departments and buildings to access any out of compliance practices and safety violations. We better make sure the chains are on the gas welding tanks, the weight load limit stickers are on the bucket truck, and warning signs don’t have any obvious holes in the fabric, and on and on. THIS WILL COST THE CITY AND YOU THE TAXPAYER BIG MONEY! Every I will need to be dotted and every T crossed no matter how miniscule the violation or asinine the procedure. THANK YOU BOB KAUL; YOU ARE SUCH A BRIGHT GUY. Doesn’t Bob realize he was assigned to the safety committee to get rid of him? Not to make the whole City operations his little Kingdom.
Even more idiotic is the fact that Bob Kaul also turned the City into their City liability insurance carrier, MMIA. Violations and complaints equate to higher premiums and reduced coverage. Thanks again Bob Kaul for ratting your fellow tax-payers out to “big-brother.”
After a couple failed runs for the Ward 3 Council position, Bob Kaul was left to slide into the position in an unopposed and empty victory after the Republicans failed to produce a candidate in 2007. However, the Democrats rallied behind their “chosen one” and elected this sorry excuse for a representative instead of finding a credible candidate.
The Havre Daily Corrector has pledges of big dollars for campaign expenses to anyone, of any party, with an IQ higher then 50, who will run against Kaul in the next election. We also have pledges of campaign help, door to door assistance, sign assistance, and promises of workers to mount the campaign. Take a look at the Ward 3 map on the City of Havre Website to see if you know someone in the Ward that can run.

I apologize in advance to the blog reader that takes offense at my dim-bulb references, but this guy is truly rat-fink and an idiot that hurts all of Havre with his puffed up chest tactics. Even more frightening is the fact that Mayor–elect Solomon is meeting together with Kaul on a regular basis for “advise and counsel”.
I will say it again. Bob Kaul is he only guy doing any research and the Democrats should reqruit him to run for the State House of Representatives. With all this news coverage his election would be a slam dunk. Where are the Democrat leaders?
