Which is to say, is the budget director and appointed position, or a civil service position? I can't find anything in Mt Code that say's one way or the other.mtlibertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570265707728415481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-55510191562193806762007-03-06T09:20:00.000-07:002007-03-06T09:20:00.000-07:00You're welcome.

It really was something to watch. <BR/><BR/>Any question that Montana Headlines had been too harsh on Ewer disappeared this morning when we saw that Charles Johnson, in the Gazette front-page article, also described Ewer with the same word we chose: seething. <BR/><BR/>There really was no better word to describe it.<BR/><BR/>For the record, it should be noted that all of the department directors gave their testimony with appropriate respect and decorum -- but not Ewer. There was no sense that he was a representative of the executive branch, talking to a committee of a co-equal branch of government.<BR/><BR/>His demeanor was one of "how dare you cross me, don't you know who I am?"Montana Headlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16149094528547382638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592841981416728347.post-64852872995502920182007-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:002007-03-06T06:55:00.000-07:00Thank you for all this information.
