We now know why Bismarck City Commissioner Parrell Grossman tried to back track his comments to the Bismarck Tribune about mold in the Public Health Building - there isn't a mold problem - as least as of two days ago there isn't - according to a report by Badland Enviromental Services, Inc.

The whole story about the mold was at best an exaggeration, and at worst a falsehood. But it sure did scare the Bismarck City Employees and Bismarck State College employees working there. What does it say about public officials who scare their own employees with a story about health risks about going to work?

The irony that the building is the Public Health Building used to be the Workers Compensation Building has not been lost on anyone in this process.

What happens next?

The city commission will next need explain why it used mold as an excuse for selling the building so cheap against an existing Attorney Generals opinion saying ANY political sub-division (city, school district, county, park district, state agency, etc) cannot sell property below market value.

Either way, Bismarck residents and taxpayers should be even more upset knowing that attempts were made to mislead the public as to why the property needed to be sold at a loss.

Stay tuned, the story is not over yet.
