I want to clarify that the names in capital letters in the header are there because those folks are all or have been Facebook friends of Margurite. This matters. If any if them, especially Jim Hilmerson, do not wish to be associated with her, then disconnect with her.....fully. unfriend her. Why are any of you,
especially Sheriff Shawn Larson and former LFPD OFFICER Charles Strack, Facebook friends with her? I think I know why.
4-10-19THIS REPORT EXPLAINS A LOT. NO WONDER FLENSBURG CAN'T RETAIN MAYORS AND COUNCILORS.
Cofell cost Flensburg THOUSANDS of dollars.....and to top it all off, the council even took her suggestion who to pick for auditor to do city audits in the future......just like she picked the auditor at the St. Francis Credit Union.
WHO WOULD WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS?🤑🤑🤑🤑
Margurite Cofell, the former head of St. Francis Credit Union, (who caused it's collapse) CAN'T RECONCILE A GENERAL LEDGER???🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
REALLY¿¿¿¿¿
In every way possible, she showed incompetence.👎👎👎
And John Gessel, Jr has made himself look like a complete fool, by his 👁comment below......
"She's been a darn good employee." 🤮John Gessel. He must have very low standards.(full article below)
👽👽👽 As of this morning 4-10-19, the article above has been corrected to state the REAL date of the next Flensburg council meeting Monday April 15, 2019...instead of the incorrect date of April 18th, given by the mayor, John Gessel, Jr., for the printed newspaper of 4-7-19.👽👽👽 Think that's an accident or deliberate mistake to keep the public out if the meeting?
This correction was made because I requested Terry Lehrke find out the correct date and location. There should also be an address provided so the public can easily locate it. 🐦
Will Margurite finally be canned by the council? Will they even show up? Or will they be absent so as to not have a quorum, necessary to discuss agenda items??? We will find out. 😊
Margurites son Jon Paul Cofell is married to the Flensburg Mayors(John Gessel, Jr.) Daughter Samantha (Gessel) Cofell. Jon Paul Cofell I believe has turkey barns/ owns the land or has a contract with Jennie-O at Badger Creek Farms, LLC. I am not sure but based on these finding below I think Jon does.
See link above for Flensburg report of the ☆☆Mn State Auditors Rebecca Otto 2016/2017 SCATHING ☆☆letter/report/review....I marked it in the picture below so you can find it easily under 2017
Report (pdf, 457k)click here for the full report Mn. State Auditor
NOTICE FLENSBURG IN VIOLATION OR NON COMPLIANCE OF MN STATUTES......OVER AND OVER. That's what happens when you have a fraudster working for you.
Since 2014, they all knew Margurite was accused of embezzlement of St. Francis Credit Union.....and they still allowed her employment as clerk/treasurer.
What are they thinking?
Who is compromised? What's Margurite got on them? Are some benefactors of her theft?

IS there a connection between Julie Hollerman and Margurite Cofell in this wire transfer scam????
Sure looks suspicious to me?
Why didn't the official Morrison County Record did deeper?
Why haven't they reported on the State Auditor review letter for Flensburg?
I found it by investigating further.....why didn't they?
As of yesterday 4-10-19 speaking with Terry Lehrke(editor of the paper) they were clueless about any of this.
Why???
Don't they WANT to find it? Don't they WANT the public to know?
😡😡😡 NOTICE ABOVE IT READS...."It cannot be readily determined from ACH payment information on the bank statements if more ELECTRONIC FUNDS TRANSFERS were made." 😡😡😡
W O W
In the article of the McRecord below it states:
"Cofell issued checks that were not paid for, withdrew money from the credit union's vault account and made a number of FAKE ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS as part of the scheme."
It also states "According to the civil complaint, Cofell allegedly used her authority to MANIPULATE THE CREDIT UNION'S GENERAL LEDGER. But out at Flensburg, she has no idea how to reconcile a ledger. Right. Now who on earth would buy that?
The city council and mayor of Flensburg.....that's who.
And does anyone else find it odd that the same year Swanville had WIRE TRANSFER theft --2017, Flensburg had NO way to determine if additional wire transfers were made. They were in violation of Mn Statute 15.17 and 471.38, and its own "Wire Tranfer Payments Policy" enacted January 1, 2017.

And didn't Margurite Cofell work at the Flensburg municipal liquor store/bar for a period of time?
More NONCOMPLIANCE !!!
And here is another troubling thing. Why on earth is the sheriff of Morrison County(Shawn Larson) and LFPD officer Charles Strack, Facebook friends with an admitted fraudster?
Why is the owner of Baby's on Broadway(Adelle Starin, former employee of Larson Abstract) a Facebook friend with Margurite? I wonder where she got the money to start her business? You don't suppose she got a loan from St. Francis Credit Union do you?
Some other interesting past or present Facebook friends of Margurite are Susan Haugen Buckley(former city of Little Falls financial officer before Lori Kasella), Jill Senn-Resseman, LuAnn Morrow(current Flensburg council and owner of Lucky Lucy's Painting where Margurite has been an employee), Jeff and Michelle Waldvogel, Judy Buckingham(former employee of MCRecord and past owner of a Little Falls bar), Roxi Gammon Lukasavitz(works for the DNR), Jim Hilmerson(owner of Hilmerson RV), Trent Iverson(Emblom-Brenny Funeral Home), ELSIE MILLER, ERIK GRADIN and there are plenty more. I wonder who can put 2 and 2 together?
WILL FLENSBURG LOSE THEIR INSURANCE from LMCIT ????
I am pretty sure Margurite worked at the municipal liquor store/bar owned by Flensburg, before it was sold to Herbies Bar in 2017. This explains a lot. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Here is some general information to sort out. I make no determination if there has been more foul play. But who wouldn't suspicion the possibility??

Kris Deer(whom I don'know) made this interesting comment on the Morrison County Record Facebook visitor comments site where I posted part of the court records for Margurite Cofells embezzlement case that is still ongoing...
Is Kris Deer suggesting ARSON ???
I understand Jon Paul Cofell(Margurite's son and Mayor John Gessell's son in law) is the Flensburg Fire Departments Assistant Fire Chief. How convenient.

Ken Merten used to be a Flensburg city councilor. It was his son's home(as well as storage for his vintage cars) that burned. There was an insurance claim.
I wonder who paid for the gas lines close to the turkey barns??
Kyle Loven, former head of the Mpls FBI, hails from Swanville. ( retired in 2017)
Brad Pederson, retired FBI, is a current Flensburg city councilor.
