Article “ Ospelt named county highway department chief” Wed Jan 9th.
Not quite a few days into the New Year the “newly appointed Republican paper (the Valley News –Reporter Carl Thompson) falsely accused freshmen Legislator Lee Walker of not standing when her close friend Kurt Ospelt was appointed by the legislature as the new highway chief.
It must have been the tears of happiness in her eyes that blinded her to totally miss a 5”10 220 pound man standing and clapping for the new highway head. The guy was Lee Walker. The same person she accused. Many- many people saw Walker standing and clapping.
The question we have is why was that even news worthy? There were a number of departments heads “properly” appointed that afternoon and they seemed to have not made Ms. Thompson’s news article, including the county administrator. It seems there is a “special” and maybe personnel interest in this one appointment.
As we have early disclosed the highway heads “delayed” appointment, because he was not recommend out of committee, seemed to have been mentioned in dozens of articles in the Valley News ONLY. Not one other paper thought this issue was remotely news worthy enough to carry it almost each week in their paper. The Valley News did...and did…and did over again.
Why…you might say there was another motive for this. Well they are now the new “extra” county paper. A paper that has never been appointed by the Republican Party until they stated to slate their stories against the Democrats and for the Republicans JUST last year.
