Tuesdayâs meeting of the Gallatin County Commission began as it usually does.
There was a moment of silence and the recitation of the pledge of allegiance, but when the time came for public comment, a small group filed into the meeting room to sing their bandmate, Commissioner Don Seifert, a song they had written for his retirement.
âWhat do you do with old bulls when they ainât no good no more? Do you take âem out to the auction or to the killing floor,â they sang. âNo matter what their age is or if theyâre fat or thin, just turn âem out to pasture to start their life again.â
