I agree with Peter Boelter of North Branch, Minnesota when he recently wrote "To avoid a rush to another heightened level of military commitment, I would suggest we implement pay-as-we-go financing of our military actions and a full implementation of the UNIVERSAL DRAFT.  These two actions would likely alter public opinion toward our middle east war involvement.

Don't miss this important, factual and well written article about the current issues in the Middle East.

MCRecord doesn't want you to see my comment to Blake Hunnel so they removed it.

This is the most outrageous thing ever.    There have been hundreds of crappy comments about me allowed by the moderator(who is usually Terry Lehrke) on the disqus comment forum following an article.  For the moderator to remove this comment, is a blatant show of  unequal treatment.  What, they must figure Blake wouldn't be able to handle the word BLABBER?  ALL OF THESE LOCAL FOLKS CAN ''dish it out'' but aren't willing to ''take it'' when they are countered or confronted with their ignorance.  Blake is probably friends with one of Terry Lehrkes relatives.  Blake is a Camp Ripley guy.  Figures.

City of Pierz, Minnesota has UNCONSTITUTIONAL SIGN ORDINANCE???? Take a look for yourself.

Now I am not an attorney, but I did learn a few things about sign ordinances over the past 4 years.   This ordinance looks unconstitutional to me.  It disallows free speech on a persons own curtilage, except 3 times a year and only a temporary sign, if I am reading this correctly.  I would suggest that the City of Pierz consider adopting the Bloomington sign ordinance, which allows off premise (with permission of the property owner) garage sale/boutique/church supper/and other community events several times per year.   The City of Royalton is experiencing what it is like to enforce their restrictive sign ordinance(based on Hopkins model ordinance).   They are in trouble, because they have allowed at least one illegal off premise billboard for years, and one homeowner that is adjacent to this billboard is not taking it.  Mark Schraut has hired a St. Cloud attorney to defend his property and force the City of Royalton to get rid of the illegal now digital electronic billboard.  I sure hope he wins.   I wonder who is Pierz city attorney.   They might want to get on this.   Just sayin.

Tom Wests article above is exactly what my article below identifies as the reason citizens are drowning in fear.  It is because of articles like his that the citizenry buys into this crap.

Information on disgraced former FBI agent John Guandalo who spoke recently at a secret meeting at a Morrison County Senior Center(likely Little Falls, Minnesota capitol of intolerance)
http//:www.snopes.com/politics/religion/brennan.asp

http://reverbpress.com/politics/top-terrorism-threat-us-right-wing-extremists-gops-answer-defund-homeland-security/

Interesting that the Department of Homeland Security sees right-wing extremism as the TOP TERRORISM THREAT.  The FBI sees right-wing extremism as the top terrorism threat.  Interesting also that the majority if not all of the attendees at the Morrison County Senior center event where disgraced FBI agent John Guandalo spoke, were extreme RIGHT WING EXTREMISTS.   Intolerant "go along to get along" types. 

Check out this interesting piece about who to not trust.

Lori Kasella says pull the agenda items that refer to amendments to the enforcement of ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES. Wonder why?

See my other previous post about city helping build a Prima Facie "as applied" challenge to the sign ordinance. 2-17-15

City staff promoting DesRosier Drive ...Lori Kasella sticks her nose in....not sure if this is part of her job or a potential conflict of interest.

Listen at 15 minutes and again at 17 minutes into the video as Lori Kasella promotes the DeRosier Drive street improvement feasibility report and project because it will bring in new tax revenue.   Is it true that she is friends with Dodee and Jim Colombe, who own property on DeRosier Drive.  I have been told that they both attend Belle Prairie Catholic church and are friends.   If Lori is advocating in any part, due to Colombes wanting that improvement, it would seem this might be a conflict of interest for Lori, who is the city financial officer.   Frank Gosiak is right to question that putting this project ahead of others, seems preferential.   BECAUSE IT IS.   Both Greg Kimman and Lori Kasella seem to be promoting the new Roach development, ahead of the councils previously chosen 3 street improvement projects.  That is what this city is good at.  Cronyism.  And it's ugly head is woven through city staff, attorney, council, and the non profits.   To say nothing of Morrison County connections with cronyism.   Money talks.  2-17-15 Little Falls City Council work session.

Little Falls Police Department Digital Radar speed sign contract with City of Pierz, Minnesota

To be placed in the northbound lane of First Street Southeast.   Right in my neck of the woods.   I am glad they are making an attempt to slow down ALL DRIVERS IN THIS AREA, EVEN THE COPS.

Loren Boyum says he has heard only negative comments from property owners along DeRosier Drive. 2-17-15

Little Falls, Minnesota City council meeting work session 2-17-15

at 7:30 minutes in, listen as Loren Boyum talks about the negative comments he has heard.

at 15:30 minutes in, listen as Lori Kasella inserts her opinion(not sure if this is part of her job description or if she should be making these comments instead, during the public hearing comment time, just like any other person, except that I don't believe Lori Kasella  lives in the city limits....but that still would not prohibit her from speaking at a public hearing) 

at 16:20 minutes in, listen as Boyum talks about one of the tender points is that this area of the city was just annexed into city limits, and property taxes went way up due to that, and this street improvement would put more tax burden on all the residents along DeRosier Drive.

at 16:30 minutes in, listen to Frank Gosiak as he tells how other projects in the past have been turned down, like 7th street northwest(his ward)

at 17 minutes in, listen as Lori Kasella chastises him and says that other projects that were turned down, could be re-petitioned again. But the city officials never tell petitioners that.   How are they to know.   She also advocates/promotes the DeRosier Drive street improvements, because they will create a new tax base.  Not sure, but it seems like this may be a conflict of  interest for her, and not part of her job.  Is it true that Lori Kasella is friends with Dodee and Jim Colombe who own property on DeRosier Drive?   I have heard that they are friends and attend the same church, Belle Prairie Catholic Church.  This is why I think perhaps Lori has a conflict of interest.  And since there is still no CONFLICT OF INTEREST CITY POLICY, anything goes.  Right?

14 plots, low income subsidized units one story 4 plex units could be built on the Roach 18.8 acre property on DeRosier Drive

Listen as Greg Kimman says a MINIMUM OF 14 lots could be created to host 14 four plex units.  Riverwood area will never be the same. 2-17-15

BNSF offer of Bathrooms donation for LFARC???? questionable....all of it.

Ok, here's the deal.  Former Mayor Cathy VanRisseghem stated multiple times, that there was a donation forthcoming of the bathrooms at the Little Falls Area Recreational Complex site.  She stated that a donor was willing to cover the entire cost of the bathrooms.   What happened?   Where is that donor now?   Current Greg Zylka questions this.  Listen for yourself....despicable that this council is willing to take the railroads money, but try to eliminate the use of the road adjacent to the railroad depot and office, because they won't be paying for the road improvements.   Then they turn around with their hand out for the donation for bathrooms of 25K from BNSF.  What a bunch of hypocrites.

Hanfler suggests there are people in town to "take care of drivers driving illegally in alley on west side"

I wonder why President Jeremy Hanfler said this.  Does he think there are "thugs" who will "take care" of other stuff too?????  Notice who laughs right after Hanfler says this. (Mayor Greg Zylka and others).  It is troubling that some on this council think that kind of behavior is appropriate.     It has been said that men show their character in nothing more clearly than by what they think laughable.   I have heard that councilors said similar things in the past, when they thought nobody was listening, or that it would get out eventually.   I am referring to Frank Gosiak, Don Klinker and more.    Council meeting 2-17-15

City staff helps Robin build a Prima Facie "As Applied" Challenge to the sign ordinance. FOREWARNED.

At last nights Little Falls City Council work session 2-17-15, I gave my public forum, alerting city council and attorney that it is HIGH TIME, they start enforcing the sign ordinance UNIFORMLY, or else I am sitting in a pretty good position to challenge the city again. Like I said in my public forum....I can prove everything I stated.  DON'T MISS THE VIDEO AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY PUBLIC FORUM.  

It is interesting to note that within a short time after I gave my public forum, city attorney Toni Wetzel left the room and headed for the office.  I wonder if she was consulting with Paul Reuvers to see if indeed, I could mount that challenge.  In other words, was that right given up in my settlement.  The answer is no.   All I want is for the city to be fair with me and everyone else and apply their laws correctly.   Is that too much to ask.   Mayor Greg Zylka and all of the rest of them, don't need to wonder why I am suggesting another challenge.  It's pretty obvious.  Why the h*ll can't they get their act together???   For years the city said Doug Stewart and Jerry Lochner didn't have time to enforce the sign ordinance everywhere including businesses.  So they hired Ben Oleson, to perform the zoning administrator position, which includes enforcing the sign ordinance.  If he doesn't have time to do that properly, perhaps the city should look very quickly to hire a full time zoning administrator.  Which is cheaper, continue with a zoning administrator who doesn't seem to have time to perform the job thoroughly, or risk another legal challenge???
 It has been said and repeated to me that the city is gambling with other peoples money and they'd rather lose in court than enforce the sign ordinance fairly. I would wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
To me, the answer is simple.  Is it to you?  I want the best for this city, and that includes fairly enforced laws.   The last thing I wish to do is mount another challenge to the sign ordinance, but I will if I have to.   Please see the following pages that are important, starting with Ben Olesons duties under his contract with the city. 

TONI WETZEL LEFT THE CHAMBER ROOM, SHORTLY AFTER I GAVE MY PUBLIC FORUM.  I WONDER IF SHE MADE A CALL TO PAUL REUVERS TO SEE IF MY SETTLEMENT INCLUDED  no future sign ordinance PRIMA FACIE AS APPLIED challenge TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE?

She also quickly pulled the amendments to the enforcement of Administrative Offenses, that was already on the council agenda.   Gee, can you figure out what that is all about.  See below. Now just what kind of shenanigans do you think this lackey is up to?

It's council night.....stay tuned

Tomorrow I will be publishing the work session and council highlights.  Should be interesting.  Tonight council will authorize the required use contract to borrow the electronic radar speed sign for southeast first street.  Info in packet says it will be placed next to the northbound lane.  I am looking forward to drivers slowing down when they see how fast they are really traveling.

OH OH ....HEADS UP ALL YOU GOOD CATHOLICS...YOUR POPE ADMITS (see post for more info)

Pope says "The choice to not have children is selfish."    I guess he includes all the good Sisters too. 

Seems to me, he is digging a hole. 

 What do you think?

I am thankful to Andrew L. Seidel FFRF attorney, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation, for their true and brave comments/stands on vital issues. 

Ding Dong, the witch is dead. No money to be had by former councilors, so Stinker Klinker and Duncette resign.

Take a look.   Herr Col. Klinker resigned from ALL city boards and commissions, as soon as he knew he wouldn't get any $$$$$ from the city anymore.   Same is true for Doucette.   Same is true for former mayor Cathy Van Risseghem.    In my opinion, if a person who has served for years, and supposedly CARED SO MUCH ABOUT THEIR CITY, resigns from all boards, and quits attending council meetings, directly following the city paycheck ending, this signifies they were IN IT FOR THE MONEY.  What do you think?   In the future, I will be showing who is IN THE AUDIENCE, FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE.   I can guess who WON'T BE THERE IN THE FUTURE.  Can you?

Oh Oh....Ron Kresha is in BIG TROUBLE !!!! Always let your conscience be your guide.

McRecord removes another one of my posts about former Councilor Don Klinker

Don Klinker ran the lawless council just as any person behaving as a fascist would have.  No surprise here, that the McRecord would not publish this.   But they will publish all KINDS OF NAME CALLING of me by people who comment on this same thread.   No surprise there either.
