Thursday morning, retired postal inspector Mark Morse gathered with supporters in the lobby of the Stillwater Building downtown to announce his run to oust Yellowstone County Commissioner Denis Pitman, who announced his bid for reelection on Wednesday. "Not being a politician, I'm a little nervous," Morse told the crowd at the Stillwater. It was the only reference Morse made to Pitman, who is finishing his first term as one of three county commissioners. Before serving on the commission, Pitman was twice elected to the Billings City Council serving eight years there. His goal, he said, is to continue pushing for the improvement of Yellowstone County.
