A Sheboygan gas station owner is baffled after a mystery caller tells a clerk it's a bad idea to do business with a Sheboygan-area state senator.Oh, so I guess it's OK then.
It started Tuesday when a woman called Dick Hiers's Northeast Standard gas station after she thought she saw Senator Joe Leibham there. Her call was caught on the answering machine.
"I think that this whole thing has to end. It has to stop," said Hiers. "This type of stuff is totally uncalled for."
Hiers never thought his little gas station in the heart of Sheboygan would be the stage of political controversy. Then again, his week has been full of surprises.
"I was working back here and the answering machine went off, and I was a little surprised by that, and when I heard the message here, I was even a little more surprised."
The answering machine here in the back of the store was left on from the night before and was recording the entire conversation.
Caller: "Can you verify that was Senator Leibham at the gas station this morning?"
Gas station clerk: "Senator Leibham?"
Caller: "Yes. Do you guys support him?"
Clerk: "I have nothing to say about that, I am not politically involved."
Caller: "Alright, well you can tell Dick he's not good for business, I'll tell you that."
Shocked over the 26-second conversation, Hiers quickly traced the call -- only to get surprise number two.
"And it turned out to be coming from the Sheboygan area district school office," he said.
"Obviously our school district equipment and the facilities are for the purposes of school," Superintendent Joseph Sheehan responded. "Any type of phone call leaving any types of threats or condoning any type of intimidation is strictly prohibited."
The superintendent, who was out of the area Friday, said the district's taken what it calls "appropriate disciplinary action."
The woman is a district employee but school officials say that 8:15 call was made before she was on the clock.
H.T Kerry Picket.
What kind of school employee is not on the clock at 8:15am?

ReplyDeleteInstead of setting an example of how to make something of yourself, Obama has done nothing but riled up hatred, jealousy, and an insatiable sense of entitlement in millions of lazy, greedy morons
ReplyDeleteBut they better learn to deal with rejection, this country wasn't built in giving screaming children what they want... PLENTY more defeat on the way
Wait until someone's cheese turns up poisoned. Freaking libs are just sick bastards. WTF is gonna happen when Omama gets his pink slip in two years. Are they (union goons and other demorats) gonna burn down the country? Many of these people ARE mentally ill.
ReplyDeleteGlenn Beck has been right about most of the doomsday shit he's been predicting the last couple of years. It is all coming to fruition. All you bitter clingers and truck owning folks better make sure you're armed and stocked up with survival supplies. It's coming.
