Please somebody tell me, how come this rightwing nut case Dr. Blodgett keeps giving all this money to keep in Urdahl the POS and raise him all the big money. I would of thought old Doc has better things to do with his time and his money then keep Jay Urdahl in there.

@ Julie, Gary Blodgett is all about control and maintaining his influence. Jay Urdahl is all about money. Does this answer your question?

@ Retired I heard old Doc would of never got behind Urdahl but Jay is good friends with Gary’s junkie son the Nazi money launder. Also hear Toddy boy help’s Dougherty and Kuhn and Bookie and Scot Turncoat. Too bad for us this bratty crack head that frys his brains don’t mind his own bee’s wax.

No big deal I don’t think. Call me when he does something a little worse…

A couple of other things you might look at – Stoney Creek Inn – meals and mileage????? Stoney Creek doesn’t serve meals. Who stayed there? And, another interesting one –
Mason City Youth Tas, judgement,fine………………………………… 3000.00 1
What judgement was levied against the Youth Task force? Why?

@bodacious-now that is interesting. It would be great to get something on this P.O.S.

EWWWWWW…… so UNsexy! Everything about this guy! Matter of fact all the so called men in town that think they run us. EWWWWWWW !!

I think Jay may like guys anyhow. LOL A closet bu-sexual if you will.

L O L !

Being a ugly greedy crook is just part of being a Urdahl. Jay’s ugly brother Mike had to leave here, if he would not of left town he would of been beat to a pulp he stiffed so many folks this includes my neighbor. Jay’s daddy Rodney what a cheat, got busted for not pay his income tax, I believe he done time for it. There mom she was crazy as a loon to, mean as all get out. This whole family is nothing but selfish liar’s every one of them always has there hand out or in your pocket.

Paying. Did. Their.

I agree with Wayne. Urdahl’s bank roller Dr. Blodgett saved Dougherty last time from defeat by Mr. Watts. How many of you like the idea of one rich old Republipuke having so much influence over our Supervisors? There is real strength in numbers, people. Let’s get busy and stop this countywide rightwing assault against the 99%.

What the Doc does with his money is not as much of a concern to me as opposed to how he got it. By performing massive 4 extraction cases on everyone, causing a sunk it smile appearance.

They’d yank out 4 perfectly good molars and pull all your teeth back and made thousands look awful. Even as a child I knew this was funked up. Now it’s only done in the worst cases.

So your going to write checks for who ever runs against them Doc wants in, right?

Talk about making a mountain our of a molehill. At current mileage rates, $400 bucks is less than 800 miles if it were all miles. IRS rules state up to $46 for meals. This doesn’t seem out of line to me by any means. I hope our supervisors are out and about, meeting with citizens, businesses, cities, etc. The fact Matt didn’t publish the details tells me it isn’t very damning.

Or it means he was relying on the published expenses which doesn’t include the detail.

An old man drinking pop like a numb skull. Jay’s a clown.

Why not go to the County Auditors office and ask to see the receipts? They are public record and you have a right to see them. Better yet, why not go to the County Supervisors meeting when they act on approving the claims and raise your questions and or concerns then? Not liking someone doesn’t mean they are guilty of anything, so don’t get caught up in a feeding frenzy and just “assume” everything anyone in public office does is criminal and suspect.

You must have not been paying attention to the shenanigans of Jay Urdahl over the years. It is not about liking or disliking…. he is a schmuck plain and simple and would take the last nickel from his own mother….Ask anyone at the Courthouse….they despise this guy…

@ truth, your right, Urdahl got in there on old doc’s money, that is how he stays in. LVS said it right, Jay is nothing but Gary’s puppet.

It is worse then you think, we had a Chris Watts sign in our yard when he run against Dougherty, Chris would of won too. So right before the election Gary Blodgett mails out all these letters they say don’t vote for Watts your tax will go up. Now we are stuck with Phil, Jay’s rubber stamp about as smart as a box of pan cake mix.

It should have to be declared where he traveed to, why, and meal receipts showing out of town establishments and that it was “work” related. Who do we contact to get that info …. or who do we file a complaint to start an investigation into the cities spending? There has to be an outside entity to contact to report unauthorized spending …anyone know who or where? It’s time to put the city council in blast and make them accountable.

This has nothing to do with the City– This is the County. Jay is a County Supervisor….

And yes, we can get the info from the auditors office.

The rule is that if you are in town– you don’t get the meal reimbursement. So, where is Jay going to that requires him to drive and get meals and mileage.

These guys are accountable to nobody. If you say anything– Jay gets vindictive and will try to ruin your life. Why do you think nobody with credibility will run against him??? They don’t want to put up with the s_ _ _ t that he would deal. He would go back to your grade school and find the one bad thing you ever did and make it as if it were relevant today… He is a mean and nasty person and it is about time that he goes down….

Has there been a bill from special prosecutor Mark Young?

So when you all work for your company and get paid your wages, and the company either requires you to travel, get workboots or gear required to complete your job, or complete training outside of work or travel for training, wouldn’t you expect to receive reimbursement for the time and expense or is that just “part of your job”? I dont understand why its ok for some, but not ok for others. Talking out of both sides of your mouths people!

How long are the taxpayers of Cerro Gordo County going to put up with this guy ripping us off?

@ LVS, how long? We got to put up with Jay ripping us off? Until his sugar daddy Gary Blodgett gets tired of his selfish greedy ass.

Only see one other supervisor on the list. Where is Phil?

If Phil is not on the report that means he did not turn in any mileage slips and paid out of pocket instead of charging the Tax Payer for traveling to meeting on behalf of the county.
