Given bad info

September 24, 2013
I recently submitted the proper paperwork, which was accepted and approved by both the county and city clerks, to run for the office of Mayor and City Councilperson for the City of Moyie Springs.

I was later called by the city clerk and told that the county had contacted the Secretary of State and said I could not run for both offices and needed to choose one.

I later checked with the SOS. This is the response ..."Although it is our recommendation that the person choose one office, there is currently no law that prevents someone from running for both mayor and city council." Tim Hurst, Chief Deputy.

So why was I told I could not?
