On The Street: Were Mayor Roll's actions to repair a city truck appropriate or inappropriate?

<p><em>“Inappropriate. Elected officials should always avoid any appearance of impropriety.”</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>— Charlie Clough</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

<p><em>“When I was on the school board, we couldn’t use it for our own business. I’m not sure if it is the same for other elected officials..”</em></p> <p><strong>— Terry </strong></p> <p><strong>Collinson</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

<p><em>“Inappropriate. I think we shouldn’t mix business with pleasure, so to speak. He can’t break the law. I can’t break the law, why should he?”</em></p> <p><strong>— Ben Klin</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

<p><em>“He should not have taken money for that. If it was a volunteer thing, then maybe that’s OK.”</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>— Dan McKenzie</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

<p><em>“I don’t see anything wrong with it, I guess. If he has a shop, what’s the big deal?.”</em></p> <p><strong>— Diana </strong></p> <p><strong>Rosenquist</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

<p><em>“Inappropriate. The city keeps spending too much money, just like the federal government.”</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>— Anita Banning</strong></p> <p><strong>Libby</strong></p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&#147;When I was on the school board, we couldn&#146;t use it for our own business. I&#146;m not sure if it is the same for other elected officials..&#148;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&#151; Terry&#160;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Collinson&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Libby&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
