  • Vote NO on Sewer Bonds

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Montana|Feb 4, 2021

    SEELEY LAKE - I am writing in response to Curt Friede’s letter last week. Curt has given false information regarding the Seeley Lake Sewer Project. I contacted the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) last year and asked if Seeley Lake was on a watch list for sewer contaminates and the answer was NO. I asked if Seeley Lake had higher then the state law for contaminates in the water and the answer was NO. I asked if the DEQ would enforce a sewer if the project was voted down and the answer was NO. I have an email to verify this. So yes, I...

  • Consider alternatives as you vote

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Apr 16, 2020

    SEELEY LAKE - Ballots are in the mail this week. Please fill them out and sign them correctly. This is the time to vote two great candidates onto the board. Don’t let two candidates who are business owners make you subsidize the sewer for their benefit. Instead, vote for Tom Morris and Jason Gilpin. Just remember 40 years is a long time to pay for a system only good for 15 – 20 years. I was also wondering, during a crisis like we are in now, who would pay your operating and maintenance? Who would pick up the costs for any foreign objects tha...

  • Get the Sewer Board back in the hands of the people - Vote Morris and Gilpin

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Apr 2, 2020

    SEELEY LAKE - As I sit here waiting out the coronavirus to pass, I realize the only other thing that will kill you is the cost of a sewer in Seeley Lake. The people of Seeley need Tom Morris and Jason Gilpin on the board to clean up the corruption from the lawyer and manager who say they represent the citizens of the town. The lawyer and the manager do not care about the non-supporters and refuse to work for a system that is affordable. I sit and think all they are for is a paycheck paid by everyone in the district. This is the reason why the...

  • Morris and Gilpin have my vote for Sewer Board

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Mar 19, 2020

    In reference to Don Larson’s letter about selecting the next two new Sewer Board members and to do your homework. Well, I did some investigating for the citizens of the town and here are my findings: 1. Tom Morris is a past sewer board member who protested the sewer and has years of experience on the board and will fight for the alternative solution. 2. Jason Gilpin is related to Tom and knows the facts and state laws on this matter. Jason has been well educated by Tom on this project and also protested. 3. Of the two other guys, one isn’t even...

  • Fact checking the Seeley Lake sewer

    Former Sewer Board Vice President Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Jan 31, 2019

    SEELEY LAKE – As you all know, I resigned from the Seeley Lake Sewer Board for multiple reasons. I couldn’t sit on a corrupt board that told lies to the people of Seeley Lake for years. The time I did serve I was bullied by the former president and was threatened to be sued for not pushing a plan through that the town neither needed or wanted. The three newly elected board members after two meetings were accused of not moving forward. After research, it was the previous board members who had no idea of what needed to be done or what they were e...

  • Questions for Wallenburn

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Apr 26, 2018

    SEELEY LAKE - The more the sewer is the topic, the more false information is surfacing. First of all, regarding Joann Wallenburn’s letter in the April 19 issue of the Pathfinder. I would like to ask her to support her facts on the Placid Lake algae bloom. How is that possibly caused by Seeley Lake septic systems? And in reference to Wallenburn’s comment on the Salmon Lake algae bloom, since Placid Lake is upstream from Salmon Lake, wouldn’t it be logical to say maybe Placid has leaking septics or some DNRC lots on the Clearwater have issue...

  • Fairy Tales of Seeley Lake Sewer

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Apr 5, 2018

    SEELEY LAKE – As I read the March 22 issue of the Pathfinder, I walk over to the wall and beat my head against it. I am very amazed how a board of individuals that are supposed to be representing the citizens of Seeley Lake have posted false info and did a protest in the middle of winter that was unconstitutional to the voters to try and pass the bonds there. This is very unprofessional and is deceptive practice by giving a number and not being honest to the voting people. The board has no idea of the routes needed for the project. So how c...

  • More Issues That Need Answers

    Troy Spence, Seeley Lake, Mont.|Aug 31, 2017

    SEELEY LAKE - Well here we go again residents of the Seeley Lake Sewer District. After attending the public meeting, I actually thought I was watching CNN but realized this was worse than that. I wrote questions that were ignored (couldn’t answer them honestly)? This board has failed to honestly represent the town of Seeley Lake and has used the liberal approach that they are for it, if they benefit. I have followed this sewer project since the beginning. I have spoken to past board members and have gotten the facts. They are just the o...
