The Water's Edge

Government Accountability Board RE: Bob Seitz

Jason Huberty and Introducing Bobby “BS” Seitz and Walker's "monkey business"

Bob Seitz is our friend. Seitz, an executive consultant affiliated with Gogebic Taconite, has been a true spokesperson for GTac's executives. Indeed, this dual role as an executive and a lobbyist must test the resolve of the very best. This is a position requiring: poise, presence, a firm grasp of the issues, a quick wit, and charm all at the same time. Bob, BS, as he is affectionately known in the Face Book world, is the man for this job. Our fear is that his hard work and talented public skills will be rewarded as he most certainly will be tapped for more challenging and important positions. His extensive background in government  and his inside look at the behind the closed doors hanky-panky make him a valuable asset. His experience has taken him to the extremes of political world - his experience goes from bullets to bunnies and gays to guns.
