Letter to the Editor - The Golden Spike in a different light

Editor,

Really? I found the article in the Havre Daily News to be disparaging concerning Tammy Walters. Tammy is far from a greedy uneducated businesswoman. During the complete shutdown she continued to pay her employees as if they were working. That information came from her grateful employees not Tammy. She genuinely cares about her employees as well as her many patrons.

I am not sure where all the complaints are coming from as no one is obligated to frequent the Golden Spike. So why complain? I would wager most other bar owners wish they had Tammy’s resolve and fortitude in standing up to former Gov. Bullock’s directives.

As for masks, I find it difficult to wear a mask and enjoy a beverage. Those who come into the Spike for take out are required to wear masks and do comply. I encounter far more people at Walmart or IGA by the way, not all of their patrons are wearing masks.

The Golden Spike is as clean an environment as any business in town. Tammy Walters takes a great deal of pride in the Spike as well she should. The remodel was well thought out and tastefully completed. Great job Tammy!

I for one support Tammy in running her business as she chooses. After all, are we still living in a free country?
