Little Falls...."Intolerance Capitol of Central Minnesota" NO ROOM FOR PEACE. Constitution Free Zone. To reach me: henselrobin56345@yahoo.com or 320-360-3931 between 9am and 6pm
This sign below was just erected 7-3-19, after I reported all the others to the LFPD, the city and clarified with Mndot to see if they gave permits for ANY of these signs. They did not.
State statute AND our sign ordinance forbid any signs ATTACHED to road signs.
JOBS sign in road right of way....a no no.
Right in front of POLICE STATION(picture below) in the road right of way. I think I will try this. 7-3-19
This ILLEGAL SIGN attached to a stop sign at intersection of Paul Larson Drive and 9th Ave NE. Below...
City or MnDot didn't place this either.
In talking with Adelle Starin this morning 7-3-19, of Babies on Broadway, she stated an Otremba from Knife River Construction, had given her permission to have these signs in the road right of way. She said business owners and Big Dig organizers were present at this meeting. Nobody is authorized to issue permits for the public road right of way, except the city or MnDot. And an actual paper permit would have been issued after filling out and paying for the permit. That's the way it works. There are laws in place to prevent this type of illegality. Our LFPD is not doing their job, if they have not removed the 3 that are attached to the stopsigns and road signs. It's their job. Adelle also stated that Dominos added their signs on their own.
Below, advertising signs ON THE STREET....I don't think so. Nothing can be in the roadway. Unless city or MnDot places it there. They didn't place this....that's for sure.
Sign on sidewalk, too close to stopsign, kitty corner from police station.
City parking lot below with advertising sign for Baby's on Broadway
News reporter not allowed inside the processing facility. Myself and 2 other whistleblowers denied entry. Reaks of suspicion.
Video below is final deal. City sells 52 acres to BARRETT for one dollar. Passes unanimously. You have all of them, Carol Anderson, and all members of EDA city and county boards to thank when you can't stand the stench of extruded dogfood anymore, or they bottom out and YOU have to foot the bill again.
VIDEO LAST NIGHTS PUBLIC FORUM COMMENTS AT CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION BARRET PETFOODS/MIDSTATE UNSAVORY COMBO...
Below ...part 1 of council meeting and work session 7-1-19
Part 2 council mtg 7-1-19
I am outraged that our most vulnerable special needs students will be educated and play outside on their playground (in back on the east side of the new MidState Education Building that is not yet complete) right across the street and DOWNWIND from the proposed 160,000 sq ft Barret Petfoods Innovations dogfood extruding plant.http://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/education/article109570792.html That's just a little smaller than our gigantic And lookie here who rigged up this deal, and pushed it through. Your one and only mayor Greg Zylka(also Sourcewell board member and former District #482 School Board member) https://news.sourcewell-mn.gov/a-groundbreaking-collaboration/
Walmart store which is 207,000 sq ft.
https://youtu.be/v0lFwdNm_G Who wants to buy the worst dogfood on planet earth....extruded dogfood? That's the kind Barrett manufactures. See the video link to hear all about it.
They are going to be surrounded by stink from every direction.
Who's idea was this anyway? Carol Anderson Morrison County EDA? Mayor Greg Zylka? Lori Kasella city finance director? Jon Radermacher city administrator? Stephen Jones school district #482 superintendent? The school board? MidState school board? Loren Boyum(has been with MidState and former councilor)? Shame on anyone who had their hands in this rotten deal for our kids.
This has to be one of the biggest blunders in Little Falls, Mn. history.
What a sham. Cronyism at it's worst. Greg Zylka announces yesterday at the EDA mtg that his brother was just hired at Barret 3 weeks ago. Think that's an accident? This same brother John, who used to work for Falls Distributing, Larson Boats, and I am told, Mala Mills, sure seems to bounce around a lot.
Barrett family says they value community and give back....yes but only to some they like. They very verbally opposed a necessary half way house proposed in 2017 for addicts that need a transitional place to stay and get their feet on the ground, before finding employment and returning to society. Barretts opposed it. https://www.youarenotaloneinc.com/about-us Only "THEIR'' family matters, evidently. Shameful.
Some kind of peas are growing on the 52 acre site Barret (below) is buying from the city. They use yellow peas in their petfoods. Think it's coincidental that peas are the crop here this year?
It is morally wrong to do this, regardless if it's all legal.
The wetlands below is Daggett Brook/Creek, about half mile south of Barrett Petfood plant on highway 25 north of Pierz. Any runoff or pollutants would end up in here. If you zoom in on the photo with the seagulls feeding on something, you can see there is water that is on the ground flowing into Dagget Creek.
One wonders, where does a plant this large discharge their wastewater? There are not sewer pipes in the country. Only septic systems. This looks really suspicious.
Don't you think?
If so, get to the city council mtg on July 1, 2019 Little Falls city hall and tell them you object. Show up at 6:30pm for the work session public forum comment where everyone is allowed 3 minutes to speak.
This is your last chance. I have been warning people for months now. The stench on this town will never end, if Barrets get their stinking plant in our town. And all you homeowners behind Aldi, if you think there's traffic now on 18th Street, you have no idea what's headed your way. You will smell it more than other homes in town because you too, are downwind. Get ready.....better yet, show up to oppose this. Don't ever say, I didn't warn you.
Business....at what cost? https://youtu.be/v0lFwdNm_G EXTRUDED DOGFOOD IS THE WORST KIND YOU CAN FEED YOUR DOG. WATCH THIS VIDEO.
If anybody knows what's going on and has gone on, it's Coleen Rowley. Well worth your time to listen to this hour and 15 minute interview. It explains a lot.
Don't miss this poignant interview with Coleen Rowley, former FBI whistleblower and 2002 Times Magazine Person of the Year.
She tells it like it is with perpetual wars and the crisis we are in now because of them. https://www.spreaker.com/user/9119584/empire-episode48-colleenrowley
This will blow your mind....the video above shows how dense a mayor can get. Flensburg dense. He sets a new standard of it. My public forum is above also....asking pertinent questions and informing this illiterate council about the open meeting law and it's requirements. Here is the link for Mn statute 13D..04 https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/13D.04
Interesting they were discussing bringing fiber optic into town. I was not able to get reception in order to broadcast Facebook Live. It's a dead zone out there, in numerous ways. Their next meeting is July 15, 2019. They can expect my presence. Somebody should have been monitoring/reporting on them decades ago. It is abundantly clear they have violated the open meeting law, more than once recently. See the photos of the minutes from their May 13, 2019 meeting below. Absolutely no mention of hiring the new clerk. I was present at the April 15, 2019 meeting where Margurite Cofell turned in her resignation and it was decided to put an ad in the MC Record to hire a new clerk. There was supposedly no meeting in between. So how did she get hired then? and by whom? Looks like a round robin must have taken place, or an illegal, unpublished meeting. A round robin is where council members call one another, in order to skirt the open meeting law. It is illegal.
Mayor John Gessell, Jr. is not fit to hold public office. Neither are any of his band of merry cohorts. Is this the best that Flensburg can come up with? Remedial education is in order for every one of them.
The videocamera version is uploading to youtube now. Soon to be published on here, but this Facebook live recording gives you a good idea as to what was discussed.
War is what ameriKa feeds off of....and war is the "teet' that Camp Ripley soldiers suck on every day. The military(including National Guard, Air Force, Navy, Army, Marines, and all other branches) is the biggest welfare handouts program EVER.
If anyone wishes to have their comments on this blog published, it is imperative that you claim your speech by signing in with your real name, and email. If you post anonymously, and don't list who you are, I will not publish your comments. Why would you be afraid to stand behind your speech? I don't get it. That in my book, is the definition of a coward. Don't waste my time.
I want to know how and when LuAnn Morrow(Margurite Cofell's sidekick) was made the acting city clerk. It was not decided at the April 15, 2019 meeting that I videorecorded(all are above). And there was no meeting between April 15th and May 13th. Or was there? And the public was not aware? All of a sudden at the beginning of the May 13th meeting, she magically has this title of "acting city clerk." How's that possible? Did they violate the open meeting law? Doesn't council hire city personel? Did Mayor John Gessell, Jr just appoint her without a council vote?
Now here below, is what was in the public announcement box today 6-8-19 outside the Flensburg community center where the council meetings are held.
Mr. Crabby Pants Ken Merten was mowing the grass when I arrived today 6-8-19. He quickly came over by the front of the community building where I was taking photos of the public announcements. If looks could kill, I'd be dead. I greeted him but he burst into the building, then came out, slammed the door and hopped back on the mower, all in a huff. What friendly folks reside in Flensburg. Especially this angry joker!
I wonder what he gets paid for that mowing job? I wonder who hired him? Council? And I wonder if he was a councilor when he was hired as lawn maintenance person. I wonder if that job was put out for bids as required by law. I wonder if the city has a drug testing policy for city job applicants? If not, why not.
I wonder if they have a Responsible Authority? If not, why not?
Sidenote....acting city clerk LuAnnMorrow could use some remedial writing classes. Suppose the city council will authorize that, or continue to publicize 5th grade minutes?
Notice city attorney Peter Vogel advises they appoint a data privacy representative. Council decides to appoint LuAnn Morrow to that position.
Notice in TINY PRINT it states the next meeting will be held on June 17th. No time or year listed and it's at the very bottom of another document, not listed by itself in large print as it was for the May 13th mtg which is still in the public announcement box. (Pictured at left)
Check out the missing notes from the April 15, 2019 meeting that were publicly posted after that meeting, that mention everything I said, but are NOT in the official minutes posted today 6-8-19. Why not?
Here is what was in the box after the April 15, 2019 meeting I attended.
Here is the 2018 Flensburg budget on the Mn State Auditors website, but I sure can't find any 2018 Flensburg audit on the OSA website as LuAnn Morrow told Beth Super. If I find it, I will publish it.
Lastly, I made a data request a few weeks ago, asking to inspect a number of items from the city of Flensburg council meetings and policies.
I received this response recently....
Somebody can't read....my last name is spelled HENSEL. Not Henzel.
Just a few tidbits below from the League of Mn handbook on data practice requirements.
