Best of the Northland

Superior Mayor Bruce Hagen

We honestly can’t say that we’ve heard much out of Bruce Hagen over the years that he’s been the Mayor of Superior. His recent comment on Facebook regarding a picture of Michelle Obama that read, “She and her Muslim partner have destroyed the fabric of democracy that was so very hard fought for” created a backlash throughout the community, was met with a rally at City Hall and became National news. Things got worse when Hagen initially defended the comment. He finally made attempts to make up for the comment, but the damage had already been done. As far as the “Best” or “Worst” of the Northland, his timing wasn’t ideal, since the comment was made towards the end of the year and was fresh in people’s minds when they went to the polls.

Runner Up: Don Ness with so few votes that it’s hardly worth mentioning.
