One Last Dastardly Despicable Deed from the Departing Hill County Commissioner

It appears that defeated Hill County Commissioner Mike Anderson couldn’t resist taking one last poke at his old courthouse rival retiring Superintendent of schools Shirley Isabel. In what was billed as a going away party at the courthouse Anderson went on and on about outgoing treasurer Carrie Dickson’s 20 years of service and presented her with a nice plaque as a memento of her time at the courthouse. It soon became painfully obvious to everyone in attendance that the retiring Isabel, who worked over 25 years in the courthouse as the superintendent of schools, was going to be ignored by Anderson. A person attending the party told us that most of the crowd became extremely uncomfortable and many were glowing crimson in the shame of the occasion. After a deafening silence fellow commissioner Mike Wendland finally asked Shirley Isabel if she wanted to say anything. Shirley, who was hurt and visibly shaken by the rudeness said a few words and scurried away from the embarrassing and uncomfortable occasion.

Interestingly, Commissioner Kathy Bessette who worked with Shirley all of her 25 years in the courthouse stood silently by looking at the floor. No matter the political differences the Commissioners had with Isabel this was another childish exhibit of just why we at the Corrector think they all need to be replaced. Shirley put her heart and soul into her job these past 25 years and deserved better than the kick in the pants she took from these idiots. I can hardly wait for next election so we can kiss one more of these unprofessional childish commissioners goodbye.

What I really find disgusting is the political payoff given to Anderson when he was anointed to a $60,000 per year management job in the insurance auditor’s office after he was stomped in the primary election. Supposedly he is going to oversee the investigations of the auditor’s office in Helena. He has no prior experience at this type of work, has no training other than his high school diploma received from Havre High in 1980 and is being hired simply as a spoils of a political system run amuck.

Bye Bye and good riddance

Please forgive us Mike if we fail to run by to kiss you goodbye and give you a plaque.
