This should be posted on Town Hall as well as the town web page.
Transparency is non existent here, for if it was a list of candidates who’s office were up for re-election would be posted not only at the Fromberg Town Hall but on the Fromberg Town web page. Like the last election it is not. This goes to show that change is viewed as unwelcome and keeps the sub-par standards that we the citizens pay for every time we pay our water bill. (Which is the highest in the state.) For any one interested the last filling day is June 19th you must file in Red Lodge. Candidates for local office file their declarations and pay their filing fee with the county election administrator. Although if you miss this date you may sign up as a write in candidate if you are still interested.Those individuals and offices up for re-election are as follows Mayor-Richard Anderson, Council-Lula Price, and Council-Tim Nottingham.
