Flensburg, Mn city council meeting 6-17-19 Margurite Cofell amongst the audience. Mayor John Gessell, Jr. thinks he can control free speech at public meeting.

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   Looks like a round robin must have taken place, or an illegal, unpublished meeting.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.
