Bailey resident Gary Bartel has filed to run for the Park County District 1 county commissioner seat being vacated by John Tighe, who is term-limited, and County Commissioner Dick Hodges of Pine Junction has filed for re-election to his District 2 county commissioner seat. Details in this week's Flume.
I'm really surprised that no one (but me) has/is going to make comment on this. Every BOCC meeting I have attended since Hodges has been a Commish. I have noticed ONE THING.. Hodges can't stay awake. He sits his BIG CHAIR back and dozes thru the whole dang thing.. Worth re-electing NO WAY!!!
From what I understand MWM is that Mr. Hodges is very ill and only wants to keep his BOCC position to pay for his health care. It's also my understanding that he too BROKE the Hatch Act Law.. It's also my understanding that his being ill, (once again) caused a STAND STILL when the folks in the Burland area went to speak regarding a DISTURBING the PEACE law they would like to see put in place and enforced.. Do to the fact that the folks in Burland took the time off from work and managed to make it to Fairplay to be heard, you would think that Mr. Hodges would have made an effort to be there too. Re-election for him, I say NO FLIPPING WAY!!
After doing a little research here in the past few days I ran across this tid-bit of info.. It seems that when Mr. Graves was running for Sheriff Mr. Bartel supported him until Dickie Elsner changed Bartels mind..Aren't they roomies?? Wasn't it Dickie that was caught ripping up questions for the debate between Freddie and Mr. Graves??
