Max Lenington is sworn in for yet another county office.
You might remember Max Lenington from August, when the Yellowstone County Treasurer, Assessor and Superintendent of Schools—that’s three offices—was caught plagiarizing a letter to the editor of the Billings Gazette. Don’t fuck with the Gazette, because reporters there recently discovered that Lenington used the n-word in a dozen or so emails sent from his county account. Lenington has since said that he “probably” regrets using the epithet and will not resign. You can read all about it in my latest column for the Missoula Independent, which features several heretofore undiscovered emails from Lenington that I found via investigative reporting made up. We’ll be back tomorrow with Friday links.
