MASON CITY – Mason City police were hired to protect Republicans at the latest Cerro Gordo county GOP meeting.
Mason City chief of police Jeff Brinkley confirmed to NIT today that “GOP Chair Barb Hovland hired an off-duty officer for their meeting on July 6. Hiring a MCPD officer for overtime requires a 3-hour minimum. That cost is currently $53/hour for a total of $159.”
According to sources inside the meeting, Mrs. Hovland – who has been in charge of Republicans in Cerro Gordo county since 2014 – scolded some in attendance for telling NIT what goes on at the meetings, saying, “you know who you are.” This verbal thrashing comes on the heals of the June Cerro Gordo GOP meeting, in which NIT reported “tempers flare, tears flow, resignations fly” at that possibly chaotic meeting where some stormed out of the room.
Our source tipped off NIT to the police presence, and added, “she made a point to tell us that she paid for the police presence out of her pocket. She said, ‘it was OUR money!'”
I’m about to pop some popcorn and settle in for how this all turns out.
Shouldn’t you Rightwingers be focusing on your primary goal, keeping us Po’ Folks down?
Where are all the grammar NAZI’s? The heading should have said, An “off duty” police officer was hired. There is a difference!!!
Barb thinks she’s bombable or something tee hee
Smart move -$159 bucks for peace and quite – not all republicans are TRUE republicans – these are known as RINO’s -rioters-just progressive demos wearing what ever color to gain power. What’s the big deal ? -here in our small town they have a policeman there to protect the flunky mayor and his blue party city council butts at ALL city council meetings – SAD.
Good one trumpTARD!
Well isn’t that special
