1. What can I say? Watch YouTube! The Mayor is a snarly byatch! So much for my welcome to Fromberg! I don’t think so. Why would anyone go to a town Hall meeting or participate? It was pretty clear those that showed up were unwelcome and mayor and council thought their opinions were worthless!. All I can say is thank gawd I was advised Town Hall is a snake pit! The words out! Fromberg’s not a place to take up residence. Will seek a place in the future that embraces community as well as fiscal responsibility!

2. Does the council go back and listen to what they said? Because I find it sad that elected officials could sound so disparaging. Then they the council wonders why other communities are more appealing than theirs. It’s clear City Hall has no comprehension as to how to change their attitude, nor do they want to change their attitude. Sad, as change is part of progress.

3. How is it four Council men and a Mayor along with a Clerk miss a thirty-two thousand dollar mistake on an Excel spreadsheet? Then it’s a private citizen that has to point the failure out… The topper is they act like it’s not a big deal, “it’s a computer glitch”. That would be fine if it actually had been a computer error but in fact it was an operational blunder in the input of data done by the clerk. You know, the clerk you just gave an hourly raise of $2.50? Retroactive to September 1 no less! Business sense says you don’t pass out budgets that are not fiscally sound, that have a 32 thousand dollar error, and give a huge raise to 1 employee and give no to raise at all to the other 2 town employees. Except in Fromberg, because who cares? Its just Fromberg! Thank gawd you didn’t hire this clerk to preform brain surgery, although I would allow her to practice those surgery skills on any one of the morons that sit at the Council table. Maybe the Clerk could practice surgery with herself first. For three years Miller INC has been on a spending spree with our tax currencies, and without thoughtful consideration to the consequences of us the taxpayers. Let’s just review some of those egregious errors! The McKenzie Zoning with legal fees up to and including submission to the Montana Supreme Court! Also the costs for all the extra Mckenzie special meetings adds up folks. All because Miller is too ignorant to read the ordinances she was elected to uphold. Had construction equipment been parked on City Property and rather than Mayor Rich Anderson’s property, thousands of taxpayer dollars could have been saved. 2 Maintenance men from Oregon hired at $21 dollars per hour plus a $1000 sign on bonus EACH with no contract, let alone neither had any water certification! No inventory taken at the City shop which resulted in not being able to file an insurance claim after it was robbed. Paving Carbon street with capital from the sale of the barley field. Mayor and President of Council Jim Perkin’s benefit of an alley given free gratis. Cost of a new website while the clerk is too incompetent to update it. It hasn’t been updated in over 1.5 years! Video camcorder, tripod, disks and a new $3000 computer to run it all with, under the false pretenses that videos would be posted to website. Again, even though the clerk is totally incapable of using such equipment. Then give that incompetent clerk, who can’t preform these duties a $2.50 an hour raise? The dumb leading the dumbest! And this is just the beginning! I could write a saga about this shi%. But, for those of us who live in Fromberg, we live it every day and it’s financially painful! We will be paying for Miller’s stupidity for years to come! Someone should do us a favor and make her life as painful as she makes ours.
