The top level of NIACC administration should resign their positions immediately. Ladies you are in over your head. You are running the place into the ground. Shelly Schmitt is unstable and unqualified. Kathy Grove hates athletics and it shows in their lack of funding. Dan Mason hasn’t raise a penny since he arrived. And Debbie Derr’s horrible leadership has employees ready to walk. All except her small inner circle of girlfriends. Not sure what the Board’s rationale was for giving Derr a 4% raise while the employees got a 3% raise, but they need to pull their heads out of the sand and watch what is happening under their noses.
Sounds like a big crybaby to me. Sounds like Petey can dish it out but can’t take it.

I wish one of the grocery stores in Mason City would double coupons, even if it was one day a week.
Assistant manager of gracious estates arrested for 3rd3rd owi!!!
I can’t vote for Rommney!!!
Fred Wieck, way to go coach!!!
I assume comments are on a “approval basis only” now or is there something wrong with my computer?
Looks like j doesn’t have a source for his info. In a 1963 story in Fortune President Kennedy’s dad numbered himself among the 20 wealthiest men in the country. Think of that, the top 20 wealthiest people in the country. Think of how rich Pres Kennedy was but somehow it was ok that he was rich but not for Romney? Go figure.
Have you heard the latest? They’re saying Romney is finished! He can’t release his tax returns from 2009 and earlier because he’ll be implicated as a Bain employee. His returns will also conveniently NOT show all the millions he has invested overseas that he is NOT paying taxes on. He’s done! Obama is in for another four years! We’re taking our country back!
Matt,
Since more people seem to read this than the Globe, i was wondering if you could do anything with the story that the globe covered of the man raising pennies to complete his Vietman memorial. It holds a special place in my heart and I am collecting pennies to send to him to help him out. Thanks.

Good bye Peter-I have enjoyed some of our discussions and at the very least have learned some new view points. You need to understand that when you attack people that are still innocent it tends to piss people off and although you are certainly entitled to your opinion your off the wall comments about our veterans was way out of line and out of time. Good Luck on your new web site.
“I’m finished with Matt Marquardt’s double standard he’s running here.” What a load of crap and you know it! You won’t leave, you never have in the past when you have cried foul and threatened like a little child to take your ball and run home. I find it odd how you chastise Matt @ NIT for running a double standard, but yet he was nice enough to publish your “supposed” new website address. If he truly didn’t like you he would not have published the link for your website in the first place.
I make three predictions; 1. You will not be able to stay away from or commenting on NIT for more than a week or two at the most. 2. Your “supposed” new website will not last much longer than a snowball in hell as you will not be able to contain yourself from debating everyone or any article submitted on your “supposed” website. 3. When your “supposed” website fails, it will be someone else’s fault and you will be the victim, again. Thanks and have a nice day.
Will you also be selling some weed from this site?
Good riddance!
BOYCOTT – PRINCIPAL ! Shame on them. Bookie & Trout must have bullied them into doing this.
Anybody get out to the PATHETIC North Iowa Fair ? What a waste of money ! Sell that piece of land and get over it already!
Peter, managing the ever-growing number of comments on NIT is an ART … not a science. I admit, it is difficult to keep up with. I’m doing my best. I have wiped comments for you in the past, and on the story in question, a sensitive issue involving the loss of children, I felt enough is enough. I let the comments stand for several days and after a number of complaints, I removed all of them, not just yours. Peter, you are always welcome here at NIT, and I do appreciate your input and viewpoints even if I do not agree with it.
I will be watching for this site… Got some good info on bad editors collected for you.
It takes some longer to get the hint.
