Concerns about county attorney Dear Editor, About a month ago, I delivered a paper copy of my most recent letter to the editor as noted below, to the Ellsworth County Attorney’s Office of Paul J. Kasper, in person.

The secretary informed me that “he was in court,” and I asked her to give an envelope containing my last letter to the editor to him when he was back in the office. I asked for my letter to be read, the video to be fully watched and an appointment to speak to him in person. The response was given back to me in a normal tone of voice, and I believe she was fully honest with me in my request as the scenario follows.

The secretary said to me, “I’ll ask him, but he rarely sees people because he doesn’t like giving out free advice.” Furthermore, I was informed, “I can’t guarantee that he will read the letter or watch the video, let alone take action, but I will give it to him.” I was perplexed and finally said “thank you” and left the office.

This is a problem. Kasper has not called, emailed or contacted me in any way whatsoever. Who is responsible when the county attorney refuses to reply back in his official elected capacity? Why is he even in the office? This is NOT how the person elected is to function. Kasper is unreachable!

What do the Ellsworth County Commissioners think of this? How about our mayor, Dan Finnegan? This can’t continue and someone in town must help in this situation.

Thank you, Mary L. Schmidt Ellsworth
