NO REDNECK FESTIVAL IN LITTLE FALLS, MN UPDATED. Council wk sess audio 5-17-17Raquel Lundberg Waller House Bed+Breakfast CONFLICT OF INTEREST.


What I want to know is WHY MCRecord did NOT publish ANYTHING this past weekend 5-21-17 about the fact that Little Falls city council wants NOTHING TO DO with the STIGMA of hosting a REDNECK  Festival, after the official city taxpayer corporate welfare subsidized newspaper, printed a FRONT PAGE STORY just last weekend 5-14-17.....but nothing about council not interested in hosting it, now that they got more negative comments than ANY OTHER ISSUE TO DATE.(according to Mayor Greg Zylka). They even published a poll to find out how many supported a Redneck Festival. Were it not for my reporting, the public would be clueless....and not just with this issue. That's why it's so important for everyone to pressure city council to videorecord ALL WORK SESSIONS...where the dirty work is done. 

 Why WOULDN'T THE NEWSPAPER print a follow up? Who are they protecting from ridicule and WHY? 

What kind of crazy reporting job is this? McRecord is nothing but a shopper. No real newspaper would EVER operate this way.



Above video is the Little Falls city council work session 5-17-17. Listen at 55.20 into the video for the Redneck Festival discussion.  THERE WILL BE NO REDNECK FESTIVAL IN LITTLE FALLS, MN.  TOO MUCH STIGMA....IMAGINE THAT....AND OUR COUNCILORS WISH TO BE RE-ELECTED WHEN THEIR TERM IS UP.  Mayor Greg Zylka said he received more negative comments about this than any other item council has considered or discussed....including GARBAGE disposal.

Listen also at 18.20 to COUNCILOR RAQUEL LUNDBERG'S SUGGESTION TO BAN AIR B AND B'S COMPLETELY IN LITTLE FALLS, MN, AS LANESBORO, MN HAS DONE.  If ever there was a conflict of interest this is the motherload.  Raquel owns the ONLY LICENSED B AND B IN Little Falls, Mn.  She has the audacity to suggest that her suggestion is NOT BECAUSE SHE OWNS a B+B....ya right.   Look up the League of Minnesota Cities definition of a conflict of interest and you will see this is the epitome of it. 
When your council was asked to create a Conflict of Interest and Ethics policy in 2013, they wanted no part of it.....and this is a prime example of why. 

No policy, nothing to violate. Makes them more immune to scrutiny or penalty. 

Dan Vogt(former Little Falls part time city administrator and lifelong full time Brainerd, Mn administrator, chose NOT to suggest Little Falls should create an Ethics/Conflict of Interest policy, like he did in Brainerd years ago. Why not? 

Total lack of integrity or moral compass.....and these clowns run your city. 

Listen at 39.45 minutes in to hear the discussion of city garbage contracts....this will stun you. 

Bumpouts discussion is at 31 minutes into the video.

Zoning changes can be heard at 16 minutes into the video.....to NOT DELETE THE LANGUAGE THAT PROTECTS HOMEOWNERS FROM THE NOISE OF construction materials cannot be delivered from 9pm at night until 6 am in the morning if the unloading can be heard in a residential area.   They got it right, after I let them know it was very "unkind" to do to any homeowner/taxpayers in this city.  Thank you council and staff for this one.  I appreciate it.

below is the audio of Sylvia Allen's REDNECK FESTIVAL presentation to the council 5-1-17
