Behavior

July 14, 2020 by Guest Post

By Susan Devlin, Stevensville

Council member Bob Michalson, you are my ward representative. I have to tell you how disappointed I am with your behavior. You resigned without notice 1/2 way through the year for different reasons – one being you needed a break. Where did that leave your constituents? Did you consult with us before you walked off the job you were hired to do? I never heard from you.

I am very concerned about your behavior during council meetings. You shake papers at other council members, you denigrate and laugh at things your fellow council members say.  

You got up and walked out of a meeting about a month ago, no notice, no reason, just packed up your bag and walked out. But came back in a few moments later – no apology to the council or the people attending the meeting.

You have been caught conducting the town’s business without any authorization (Dave Laursen), you have been caught discussing town business with two other council members on a then-open FB page.

You have totally broken your Oath of Office, and the Code of Conduct.  

I understand that you will not be at the next council meeting, having to go to Flathead to get your taxes done. I have no doubt that Robin won’t show up either – so again the town’s business will not be done

You are not representing your constituents – I am so very disappointed. Please spare the town any more grief and just resign – you did it once, you can do it again.
