Mayor for six years, he said he had been mayor for too long. "They complain about everything." He is paid $15 every time the town council meets. His Norwegian father was born in a sod shanty in 1883. His proudest bureaucratic achievement is a $6,000, 500-ft. concrete sidewalk that runs alongside Main Street, which is dirt. "That boy is mine too," said the mayor, pointing...
