August 18th, 2008A Mother Knows Everything
Peter invited his mother for dinner, during the course of the meal his Mother couldn’t help but notice how lovely Peter’s flat mate, Joanne, was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Peter and his flat mate than met the eye.
Reading his mum’s thoughts, Peter volunteered, ‘I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flat mates’.
About a week later, Joanne came to Peter saying, ‘ever since your mother came to dinner, I’ve been unable to find the frying pan, you don’t suppose she took it do you?
‘Well I doubt it, but I’ll e-mail her just to be sure’ said Peter. So he sat down and wrote
DEAR MOTHER,I’M NOT SAYING THAT YOU ‘DID’ TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE. I’M NOT SAYING THAT YOU ‘DID NOT’ TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.
LOVE PETER
Several days later, Peter received an email from his mother which read…
DEAR SON, I’M NOT SAYING THAT YOU ‘DO’ SLEEP WITH JOANNE, AND I’M NOT SAYING THAT YOU ‘DO NOT’ SLEEP WITH JOANNE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE F*****G FRYING PAN BY NOW.

CITY OF BILLINGS MAYOR RON TUSSING HAS HAD FOUR ETHICS VIOLATION COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST HIM WITH THE BILLINGS BOARD OF ETHICS
by MONTANA NEWS ASSOCIATION
Billings Mt.,Aug 26, 2008–/MNA PRESS/–Billings Mayor Ron Tussing has had four ethics violations complaints filed against him, with the Billings Board of Ethics. A letter, signed by over 100 citizens, was sent to Judge Russell Fagg, in his capacity as Chair of the Billings Board of Ethics. The four complaints pertain to potential breaches of duty allegedly committed by Ron Tussing in his official capacity as mayor.
According to Montana Code Annotated 2-2-121, public officers are prohibited from using public time, facilities, equipment, supplies, personnel, or funds to solicit support for, or opposition to, local ballot issues. The letter to Judge Fagg outlines four potential issues, in which Ron Tussing may be in violation of Montana State law. Ron Tussing, in his official capacity of mayor, is a member of the Celebrate Billings steering committee and as such, actively campaigned for and supported the passage of the 2006 Billings Ballpark Bond Issue and the 2007 School District 2 Mill Levy. Mayor Tussing also campaigned against the 2006 Repeal of the 2004 Public Safety Mill Levy.
The complainants allege that Mayor Ron Tussing used Billings City time, facilities, equipment and supplies in support for, and opposition to, these ballot issues. The complainants attached over thirty (30) evidentiary exhibits, in support of their claims.
The Billings Board of Ethics will meet to review the complaints. The complainants have requested that all members of the board, who have been appointed by Ron Tussing, be recused from the review process. The complainants also have requested that Victoria Cech, whose husband serves on the Celebrate Billings Steering Committee with Ron Tussing, be recused, as well.
If the Board substantiates the complaints, the next step is to refer the complaints to the Yellowstone County Attorney’s office. The county attorney may then launch investigations into the alleged breaches of duty and fine Ron Tussing between $50 and $1,000, for each substantiated violation.
Ron Tussing is running against Brad Molnar for Public Service Commission District 2.

This will affect everybody in Montana if this guy gets into the state level of politics. I want better energy for everyone here,and am a strong advocate for alternative forms, but Ron Tussing has all but ruined Billings. He has a history of closed door meetings and ignoring the law - and he continues to get away with it, because he retaliates against anyone who goes against him. Even if Molnar wins, the Dems will still have a majority on the PSC and will be able to achieve better energy goals. But, if you in Kalispell, know people who live in PSC District 2, you can let them know this is going on. The Billings media are ignoring it. This guy has been incredibly bad news for Billings and will be incredibly bad news for Montana, if he becomes one of the 10 most powerful people in the state.

The Montana Voters have spoken. Ron Tussing has been defeated. Tussing was not able to defeat Brad Molnar’s grass roots campaign style.
