Letter to the Editor: Welcome the vets
The Sanders County Fairgrounds Manager, Mike Hashisaki’s arrogance and his Vultures committee says it all . A would be Dictator and his unconcern for the welfare and help for some one thousand plus, Veterans who gave their time and risked their lives for what?? Makes us wonder as we see the arrogance of this Fair board and its would be Dictators, they have chosen to close the fair grounds for this years stand down, scheduled again for this coming May. To close the use of the fairgrounds to those Veterans is incomprehensible. Last year Hashisaki tried to close the inside seating area to the Veterans during meal times, we had a last minute reprieve on that. The local Ladies cook and serve the free meals , mostly donated by the local business people. Many drive long distances to attend this annual Veterans get together. Trust is zero with this Dictator and his followers. They have besmirched and dishonored Sanders County and all the residents of Plains Montana and they don’t even care. Truly on the outside looking in. I Renn Bodeker© a world war 11 Airborne Combat Veteran, see a horror story of power abuse and shyster rule. How and why have the people of Sanders County ever let one person and/or a committee dictate the welfare of so many. Why have you let it get so bad?? Its long past time for a complete change of County Commissioner’s. Read what agenda 21 and EPA has in store for you in the next three years. Who will undertake the sanitization, the clean out necessary to restore values, freedom and wealth creation back to Sanders County? Insist that the Fairgrounds Board welcome this years Veterans stand down with no cost. Call Mike Hashisaki, Carol Brooker, Glen Magera and Chris McGuigan.
A letter from your local legislator
Greetings to all. Just a short note to again say what a privileged it is to once again serve you in Helena and let you know what went on this first week of the 66th Montana Legislative Session. On the 7th of January was the swearing in ceremony for all legislators. Guests and family were allowed on the floor for this special occasion and I was so pleased my brother and sister-in-law came to join me. The rest of the week has been filled with schooling sessions including legislative law, appropriation training, ethics, and a study of the budgets to name a few topics. Committee meetings were also fit in around the training sessions. I am pleased to report that I was chosen by house leadership it chair the House Transportation Committee. It is not often that a sophomore legislator is given a chair position so I feel a little overwhelmed. I am also on the Business and Labor Committee and Fish, Wildlife, and Park Committees. These are both repeat committees for me. Rep. Bob Brown, HD 13, is chair of the FWP committee so I feel western Montana is well represented there.
