WHAT WOULD
YOU DO ??

A computer hard drive containing City information is sent to the
FBI Field Office in Minneapolis
for 'safe keeping'.

About a year later, the City goes to the FBI Field Office and retrieves the computer hard drive and
returns with it to Hamburg.

Once back in Hamburg, The City determines that there is NO DATA CONTAINED ON THE
COMPUTER HARD DRIVE
that's been IN THE POSSESSION OF THE FBI  for about a year.

When the City discovered that
there was NO DATA ON THE
COMPUTER HARD DRIVE that
had been IN THE POSSESSION
OF THE FBI for about a year,
WHY
didn't the City contact the
FBI Field Office and advise them that there was NO DATA ON THE COMPUTER HARD DRIVE that
the FBI Field Office had
possession of for about a year and ASK FOR AN EXPLANATION ??

IT MAKES NO SENSE !!
TO EVERYONE;
ESPECIALLY  CURRENT, FORMER & RETIRED
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS;

Let's See How Many Of Us
'THINK THE SAME WAY' !!

"You would be an excellent Mayor, my friend !"

"Hope you're doing well. You got my vote."

"Any plans (of the former employees) to bring a lawsuit or anything against the city?

Normally I wouldn't think that would be a good idea but if  it helps bring to light the situation and people are held accountable."

"Thank you for sharing all this information. I hope this comes out before the election as I'd hate to think someone like Lund could get back into the Mayor seat allowing something like this to happen. Especially in the times we are in now with the MeToo movement protecting woman from workplace behavior to woman by men."

"Stay the course, keep it clean, you've done a lot by communicating (USPS) with residents. You're a good man, and could change, clean out some of the dirt, and have fun - you would look good  in a parade sitting on the back of an old convertible, dishing up  chili at the Fire Hall fund raiser,
any and all of the above."

"I would like to endorse Dick  Odoms for Mayor! I have known Dick since 1980. I am a retired Police Officer with 34 years experience; 30 working for the City of Orono. Dick was working for Hennepin County. I found Dick to been extremly competent and very resourceful in how he approached his job. His dedication is second to none! You won’t make a mistake in Voting Odoms for Mayor !!!

Kurt Erickson,  Retired
Orono Police Department

Text Message Received About
The Current Hamburg Mayor
Mayor Chris Lund:
"That lying snake should be tarred &
feathered' (and run) outta town."

"Good luck on your  mayoral race. I'd  vote for you if I could.

"I already knew I was voting for you before but this solidified it for me as I couldn't support a man that would allow something like that to happen to a woman and brush it under the rug."

"Hi Richard, Good Luck on your run for Mayor, we know that you would do a great job."

"Why would everyone cover this up, is it because they don't want to lose Jeremy due to his job being such a vital part of the town?"

"How do you make a contribution?"

"In the mail."

"Holy Cow. Good job. When Delta speaks, a person better listen."

"I never thought that Hamburg Minnesota had so many rotten politicians after reading about what's been going  on there on your    www.HamburgMinnesota.com
Website. Disgusting !!"

"Got your flyer,  very informative."

"If you have a spare room I could move in for thirty  days and vote in the election !"

"I like it. Loved the part about holding  people accountable."

"Delta, Top shelf show this evening, thank you for the entertainment and information. Hamburg has a gift in your show, and hopefully, soon; you as head of the City."

"Have you ever read the end of the meeting minutes where they spell out what they're spending money on? Good Lord they waste so much money. Why are they buying $1,700 laptops, and $4,000 checks and $12,000 checks to the attorneys office in a month, and why and where are they installing $700 cameras. Seems like this town thinks  there is  an open checkbook or something."

"You must be working on election
stuff.  Hope it's going well."

"Great find for the citizens of Hamburg.
YOU ARE AMAZING."

Good Morning Dick,
I received your campaign mailer yesterday.  It was a very nice product.  It came folded in half, as intended, but I found the first fold 1/4, which is what one would immediately see upon opening, said it all, and quite clearly.  I skimmed the remainder, which is much more than I would read, but if someone wanted more detail they could easily find it there. Once again, good product, good luck, and most of all a good election day. Stay healthy.

"Nice job in the Mayor questions !!
Do you have time to chat?"
(I ALWAYS have time to chat !)
"Dick:

Thanks for your public service; you do so much and probably don't get recognized for any of it. But, you are a wonderful asset for Carver County and Hamburg and for your radio listening community; you're just a great guy. Thanks so much.

My prayer would be more Dick Odoms' would rise up and get involved in their lives, in their communities and in our way of life!  Our future needs courageous leaders who are not afraid to “challenge” the process and our leaders.  

America needs our involvement more than ever because of the polarizations that is taking place at all levels of government and our lives. 

I have tried to think of any part of my life where government in NOT involved in some way, shape or form. 

While I believe we cannot live without “the people” looking out for each other, I believe we have created a monster that has an appetite we cannot sustain.  Something has to give……"

Retired Three Term
CARVER COUNTY SHERIFF 'BUD' OLSON
"Dick, I have always known you as an honest man. I am sorry that this is happening to you at the hands of  deceitful and immoral people. I hope they pay for what they do to people."

"Wish I was an eligible voter, but does that matter anymore ?"

"Hi Dick - That is so great to hear."

      "I saw that coming ! Very Good !!"

"I respect and value what you have to say
to keep us informed. I appreciate it."

"Will all this information be made  public on your website? I think people have a right to know what type of person Jeremy is if the council and mayor are going to sweep it under the rug."

"How is Tamera is doing? I know it's not easy walking away from a job. I hope she's doing okay."

"Dick, I'd vote for you if I could, but apparently it is considered (by most anyway), illegal for a citizen to vote in an election outside of his or her legal state  of residence."

"You got it, or are getting it - the 'back stabbing' of politics."

WELCOME
FACEBOOK FRIENDS

As stated on my Facebook Page, I continue to 'burn the midnight oil' writing my book about what takes place in a small Minnesota City that has NO LEADERSHIP, NO ACCOUNTABILITY but DOES have OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING and just RE-ELECTED a MAYOR who's been ARRESTED for DWI, CONVICTED of CARELESS DRIVING
and has ALSO been ARRESTED & CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC ASSAULT !!!! Lovely.

Each chapter of my book (about a dozen chapters so far) reveals, addresses and describes, in detail, numerous and specific events, situations and acts that have taken place in HAMBURG that DEFY ALL COMMON SENSE and/or
COMMON LOGIC !! In some instances, it's STILL TAKING PLACE in the CITY OF HAMBURG by the
City's PUBLIC OFFICIALS/EMPLOYEES !! (Ever heard of "THE GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB" ??)

I'll openly disclose, and 'call out',  the identities of the current (and former) PUBLIC OFFICIALS (and others) of the
CITY OF HAMBURG who are involved and RESPONSIBLE for what's  taken/taking place. Not coincidentially,
what you'll be reading about in my book could VERY EASILY BE TAKING PLACE in YOUR 'small'
City or Town if you're not 'keeping track' of YOUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS/EMPLOYEES !!

You may BE ASSURED that my book will be a 'REAL EYE OPENER' of what can/did happen in a 'small
town'  when residents don't/didn't 'keep track' of what their PUBLIC OFFICIALS/EMPLOYEES
are/were DOING and how they ABUSE the LIMITLESS AUTHORITY granted to them
and the virtually UNLIMITED TAXPAYER DOLLARS available to them !!

(The Book)

My book, this Website, its associated Webpages and/or any of its contents, may NOT be printed, photographed, reproduced, copied, recorded, altered, modified or adapted, in any manner, without the prior written consent of the Webmaster.

The entire content of this Website remains the exclusive and sole property of the Website owner and publisher and is  protected under the First Amendment Of The Constitution of the United States of America.

Unless you've read my first book written back in about 2006, the current book that I'm writing describing what's been talking place in the CITY OF HAMBURG for literally YEARS, will be a book like you never seen or read before !!

Like my first book, "BURNING CORN TO HEAT OUR HOME" that incorporated a Website that I designed and maintained about the installation of one of the FIRT corn burning stoves in the southwest metro area, this second book will incorporate my Website and associated Webpages  about the CITY OF HAMBURG where I have 'chronicled', for the past ten year or twelve years, some of the 'bizarre happenings' in the CITY OF HAMBURG that I have witnessed. One particular 'unique' feature of my upcoming book, like my 'corn stove' book, is that readers will be given 'links' to various 'supporting documents' contained on my long-standing, informative and very popular Website(s) and their associated Webpages. This 'feature' will give much more meaning to an already very important topic of PUBLIC OFFICIALS that are UNACCOUNTABLE for their actions.

As a very basic example, I VIVIDLY recall a Hamburg City Council meeting where a distinguished (outside) Public Official was addressing the City Council, as a guest, about a particular matter. One of the City Councilmembers came to the meeting wearing shorts and a pair of 'Flip Flops' (no socks); hardly proper attire for a City Official to show up wearing at an 'official' City Council meeting. To make the situation even WORSE, imagine my shock, amazement and embarrassment when the City Councilmember TOOK OFF HIS 'Flip-Flops' during our guest's presentation and was sitting there, IN HIS BARE FEET, NOT WEARING SHOES OR SOCKS, in PLAIN VIEW of me, other Councilmembers AND the GUEST THAT WAS ADDRESSING the City Council !!! IT MAKES NO SENSE !!

'Hooterville', maybe; but HAMBURG ?? WHOLLY INAPPROPRIATE and TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!

By going to the link listed in my book, you'll be able to 'CLICK' on a link and go DIRECTLY to an e-mail on my associated Webpage showing where I took exception to this 'lack of judgement' of the City Councilmember and, via an e-mail message, I alerted the City Clerk/Treasurer of what took place and requested that he send out some sort of 'reminder notification' to City Councilmembers advising them that 'proper attire' should always be worn at City Council meetings and other City functions. (Of course, you can probably imagine what the City Clerk/Treasurer did; NOTHING !!)

Similar 'exhibits, documents and evidence' appear on the Websites associated with my book which will give readers much more information than just reading 'words on a page of a book'. This unique 'concept' had some distinct advantages and added a whole new 'dimension' to the sharing of my 'experience' of being one of the FIRST homes in the southwest metro area with using corn as a heating source. I got e-mails and comments from 'followers' of my Website; primarily in the United States and Canada, but also from other parts of the world. Indeed; my second book, as of yet untitled; will be a book like you've never seen or read before !!

Probably; the title of my book should be "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" because of the seven PUBLIC OFFICIALS of the CITY OF HAMBURG (Mayor, four City Councilmembers, City Clerk/Treasurer & 'contract' City Attorney) that are responsible for the turmoil that exists in the small CITY OF HAMBURG (Minnesota 55339). In my book, I'll fully reveal their DESPICABLE ACTS & MISDEEDS !!

As a result of their "WE'RE INVINCIBLE & ABOVE THE LAW" attitude (typical of MANY 'politicians'), "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" KNOWINGLY and INTENTIONALLY committed WANTON, NUMEROUS, and OBVIOUS, VIOLATIONS of the MINNESOTA LAW that dictates that they 'must behave themselves' and 'act responsibly';  (See Minnesota Statute 609.43 - MISCONDUCT OF PUBLIC OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE) !!

To demonstrate their arrogance and 'insidious stupidity'; "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" didn't even 'give it a second thought' that their actions were not only being witnessed, and 'documented' by a retired longtime Law Enforcement Officer with a stellar and impeccable background and career, but also simply assumed that, because what's been taking place (and they've 'been doing it') in Hamburg for so long, I'd just 'roll over' and end up being another 'casualty' like those before me.

To further their efforts to 'get rid of me' (because I was 'asking too many questions') and 'figuring', and hoping, that I would RESIGN my position as a HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL MEMBER, as a result, "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" KNOWINGLY even went SO FAR as to 'trump up' (not Donald) and FILE a (fabricated) FORMAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ME with the Carver County Sheriff's  Sherif'f's Office !! (See Minnesota Statute 609.505 Subdivisdion 1 - FILING A FALSE POLICE REPORT).

Details of that sinister and 'retaliatory act' by "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" will ALL be detailed in my book as will the VERY REVEALING 45 PAGE WRITTEN 'TRANSCRIPT' of my 90 MINUTE 'interrogation' with the McLeod County Sheriff's Office Detective that interviewed me about the 'bogus allegations made against me by the CITY OF HAMBURG !!

The 'findings of the investigation' were forwarded to the Scott County Attorney's Office to be reviewed for possible 'criminal prosecution'. (SPOILER ALERT: NO BASIS for allegations; NO BASIS for 'criminal charging' !!)

NO SURPRISE there, either; but you'll also learn WHY I had NO FURTHER RESPECT for the Carver County Sheriff at the time, Jim Olson (the ONLY Law Enforcement Officer that I've EVER not respected) after spending about ANOTHER  90 MINUTES with him at a later date (once the CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION concluded), detailing what was taking place with "THE HAMBURG SEVEN".

Sheriff Jim Olson TOTALLY disregarded EVERYTHING that I carefully explained to him, IN DETAIL, of what was taking place with "THE HAMBURG SEVEN". His total 'disinterest' subsequently perpetuated and facilitated "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" to become the even more arrogant group of self-serving, TAXPAYER DOLLAR WASTING PUBLIC OFFICIALS that are 'ABOVE THE LAW', that they are today !!

Because of their arrogance, 'superior attitude', heinous acts and misdeeds, "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" unwittingly also involved OTHER county, state and federal PUBLIC OFFICIALS and their Agencies whose names, positions and Agencies you will INSTANTLY recognize.

You'll will be keenly interested in what those other PUBLIC OFFICIALS and their Agencies, have in common with "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" and what their response(s) was/were.

Like the plethora of 'supporting documents' that you'll read MORE about in my book and be able to view via my associated Website(s), there is NO SHORTAGE (and NO END) to the amount of disgusting and objectionable 'material' available to write about that I've witnessed taking place since shortly moving to Hamburg in March of 2006.

Sure; while we'd all like to think otherwise, I'm certain that much of what I've witnessed since moving to the CITY OF HAMBURG, and writing about in my book, probably takes place in other cities, towns, villages and townships all across our great country; you usually just don't 'hear about it'.

But you WILL hear about the CITY OF HAMBURG; "Pop.566; El 1004'. (Got that from an episode of 'GREEN ACRES' with Oliver Wendell Douglas and Ralf and Alf; the Monroe brothers who were erecting a 'town sign' in Hooterville !)

Finally, after amassing thousands of pages of those 'supporting documents' over the past four+ years (and before), I'm getting around to writing a book about (just) some of the almost 'unfathomable crap' and 'seedy' things that I've witnessed take place in our City and the actions and tactics about some of the "THE HAMBURG SEVEN"; a handful of PUBLIC OFFICIALS in (what I refer to) as "The Last Civilized Community" in southwestern Carver County; which (reportedly) just happens to be MINNESOTA'S WEALTHIEST COUNTY and is also home to "THE HAMBURG SEVEN".

As you may have already guessed, I've been contemplating writing about what I know and what I've observed taking place in the CITY OF HAMBURG for quite some time.

But, when I sought to be elected Hamburg Mayor last fall and realized the 'ELECTION MEDDLING' that took place by a handful of residents and members of "THE HAMBURG SEVEN"
that took place to thwart my anticipated favorable election outcome, that was the catalyst that 'pushed me over the edge' to move me forward in the writing of my book.

"THE CLANDESTINE GOAL OF A HANDFUL OF CITY RESIDENTS AND CITY OFFICIALS
WAS TO 'MANIPULATE'  THE OUTCOME OF THE 2022 HAMBURG
MAYORAL ELECTION  FOR THEIR OWN SELFISH BENEFIT".
(Which they SUCCESSFULLY ACCOMPLISHED !!)

See www.THEDELTASHOW.com/POSTELECTIONCOMMENTS.html

As to when my (SECOND) book that I've written will be available, hopefully; sometime in  the Spring. I haven't got long;
be assured that I'm working diligently and efficiently to get it written, printed and published BEFORE
I assume 'room temperature'; I'll be 90 YEARS OLD in ten years !!

You'll also be interested in reading one of my other Websites;  www.PUBLICOFFICIALSBEHAVINGBADLY.com as well.

STAY TUNED; DON'T DRINK & DRIVE, KEEP YOU EYES UP & YOUR PHONE DOWN !!

About The CITY OF HAMBURG Can Be Found On My

CLICK HERE To Go To My HAMBURG SURVEY WEBSITE !!

It is suggested that visitors to this Website check out my HAMBURG SURVEY; a document that 'lays out' 34 or 35 'true to life scenarios' and asks you to simply use your own COMMON  SENSE in coming up with an answer to each of the circumstances listed. The questions are  NOT difficult and are more of a 'CHECKS & BALANCES' to see how many people agree with me that what's taken/taking place in the CITY OF HAMBURG by "THE HAMBURG SEVEN" passes YOUR OWN 'smell test'. The statements that you are being asked to 'judge' also will give your a 'GOOD FOUNDATION' and a 'BASIC UNDERSTANDING' of what my Websites and  new book are all about and WHY I've exerted so much effort to EXPOSE BLATANT & INTENTIONAL PUBLIC OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT.

I am simply  seek an explanation as to WHY the PUBLIC  OFFICIALS of the CITY OF HAMBURG are ABOVE THE LAW, NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS and can so EASILY ESCAPE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION for their HEINOUS ACTS, BEHAVIOR, MISDEEDS and REPREHENSIBLE CONDUCT !!

You'll also see the 'OFFICIAL' CITY DOCUMENT sent to me, by the City, that contained INTENTIONALLY FALSE INFORMATION as well as have
access to the RUDE, CRUDE, VULGAR and DEMEANING CITY
E-MAILS I've obtained  that were sent BETWEEN HAMBURG
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TARGETING A FORMER
HAMBURG PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEE !!

  When I began my City Council term in 2013, what you'll read
about in my book had been taking place UNCHECKED
then, and has CONTINUED to take place in
Hamburg, UNCHECKED, for
AT LEAST TEN MORE YEARS !!

During the time that  I was a Hamburg City Council Member  (2013-2017),  I retained noted  'SUPER LAWYER' MARSHALL TANICK
(at MY OWN EXPENSE) and discussed with him what was
taking place in the City  WAY BACK THEN involving the
PUBLIC OFFICIALS of the  CITY OF HAMBURG !!

The 'SUMMATION LETTER' that I received back then,
AS A HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL MEMBER,
from Attorney Tanick; is shown here.

WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE IN THE CITY OF HAMBURG AND HAS GONE UNNOTICED, IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST ABUSE OF AUTHORITY & VIOLATION OF THE PUBLIC TRUST INVOLVING PUBLIC OFFICIALS IN THE SOUTHWESTERN METRO AREA SINCE
FORMER SCOTT COUNTY ATTORNEY KATHLEEN MORRIS
and
FORMER CARVER COUNTY SHERIFF'S
CHIEF DEPUTY JAMES CASTLEBERRY

Upon announcing my Hamburg Mayoral Candidacy last August, some 'DERANGED PERSONS' have been ATTEMPTING  to 'HACK' my Websites. (ANOTHER act of 'MEDDLING' !!) ANYBODY  with
'HALF A BRAIN' living in Hamburg can easily figure out the identity of the PERSONS INVOLVED !!   Even though their 'HACKING' ATTEMPTS  have been THWARTED and
UNSUCCESSFUL, I have now INCREASED  the security of ALL THREE of my Websites and their associated Webpages.  Depending upon which browser visitors
use to view my Websites,  the 'ZOOM LEVEL' (THREE DOTS; UPPER RIGHT) may also have to be adjusted accordingly.

Last fall, Hamburg City Councilmember and 'Vice' Mayor Tim Tracy mused; "How can this town have so many problems ALWAYS."
(If The City's 'VICE MAYOR' Is Asking That Question, IMAGINE What The RESIDENTS Are Asking !!)

One ONLY has to look at the THREE 'COMMON DENOMINATORS'
over the PAST  TEN  YEARS  to answer Councilmember Tracy's query !!


UNTIL THE 'COMMON DENOMINATORS' OF THE 'HAMBURG REGIME' ARE REMOVED & HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, HAMBURG WILL ALWAYS HAVE A 'DARK CLOUD' HANGING OVER IT !!

My book about the CITY OF HAMBURG is NOW AVAILABLE !! If you're interested in what takes place in a 'small town' and reading HOW and WHY the CITY OF HAMBURG SPENT $50,000.00 in LEGAL FEES trying to (unsuccessfully) "SILENCE ME"  and tried to (unsuccessfully)
'FORCE ME TO RESIGN FROM THE CITY COUNCIL', then THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU !!

You'll find it 'interesting' (actually; you'll be HORRIFIED) when you learn what happens in a City that has NO LEADERSHIP
and some of the 'untoward' things that take place when the City's 566 residents 'DON'T PAY ATTENTION' to what their
SANCTIMONIOUS PUBLIC OFFICIALS, WHO ARE 'ABOVE THE LAW', ARE DOING !!

BECAUSE OF WHAT I WAS 'UNCOVERING'; THE WACONIA BASED ATTORNEY ADVISED THE CITY TO CENSURE ME, TWICEBAN ME FROM ALL CITY (PUBLIC) PROPERTY, TAKE AWAY MY 'CITY KEYS', AND BAN ME FROM TALKING WITH CITY EMPLOYEES; THINKING THAT I'D RESIGN. I DIDN'T !! THAT WAS THE CITY'S FIRST FAILED EFFORT TO 'FORCE' MY RESIGNATION'. 

IN THEIR SECOND FAILED EFFORT TO 'FORCE' MY RESIGNATION', THE CITY'S WACONIA BASED ATTORNEY ADVISED THE CITY TO GET AN  'ORDER OF PROTECTION' AGAINST ME SO THAT IF I 'VIOLATED' ANY OF THE CITY'S 'GUIDELINES' IMPOSED  UPON ME, THEY COULD HAVE ME ARRESTED !!

IN THEIR THIRD FAILED EFFORT TO 'FORCE' MY RESIGNATION' THE CITY'S WACONIA BASED ATTORNEY ADVISED THE CITY TO FILE A 'BOGUS' FORMAL CRIMINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST ME WITH THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THINKING THAT I'D RESIGN INSTEAD OF UNDERGOING A THOROUGH CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION !! I DIDN'T RESIGN & THE  FULL, VERY REVEALING FORTY-FIVE PAGE TYPEWRITTEN TRANSCRIPT OF MY  TWO HOUR SHERIFF'S INTERROGATION IS CONTAINED IN MY BOOK !!

IN THEIR FOURTH FAILED EFFORT TO 'FORCE' MY RESIGNATION', WHEN THE SCOTT COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE RULED AGAINST THE CITY, THE CITY'S WACONIA BASED ATTORNEY REPORTEDLY ASKED* THE SCOTT COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO CHANGE THEIR MIND !! THE SCOTT COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE REFUSED THE REQUEST BY THE HAMBURG'S  WACONIA BASED 'CONTRACT' CITY ATTORNEY !! (THAT ACTION* SEEMS TO ME TO BE A 'VIOLATION' OF THE 'RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT' TO WHICH LAWYERS  MUST COMPLY  !!)

YET, THE WACONIA BASED LAW FIRM, MELCHERT, HUBERT & SJODIN, GOT PAID $50,000.00 TAXPAYER DOLLARS BY HAMBURG RESIDENTS  FOR THE 4 FAILED EFFORTS  LISTED ABOVE, OF THE ATTORNEY THAT THEIR FIRM PROVIDED TO THE CITY, KELLY C. DOHM ACTING AS THE CITY'S 'CONTRACT' CITY ATTORNEY THAT PROVIDES LEGAL ADVICE  AND DIRECTION TO THE CITY OF HAMBURG !!

BTW, I SERVED MY ENTIRE FOUR YEAR  TERM; I SUBMIT THE CITY NEEDS A NEW 'COMPASS' !!

HAMBURG TAXPAYERS SHOULD DEMAND THE RETURN OF THEIR MONEY THAT THEY PAID TO THE
WACONIA BASE LAW FIRM OF MELCHERT, HUBERT & SJODIN !!

*'MALICIOUS PROSECUTION': "Initiating a criminal prosecution or civil suit against another party with malice and without probable cause."
After they read about my book, I received a few 'baseless' comments from some
UNINFORMED people; one of which said I should 'Calm down'!

Here's how another reader about my book, replied with to the FIRST reader's comment:

"Calm Down?  Really?  Our state is headed in the wrong direction and here you have someone who took the time to dig up the dirt on public officials (so the rest of
us don't have to) and you think he should 'calm down'.

You must be a Democrat! Take your head out of the sand and entertain the possibility that exposing all this is a good thing for our state!  Minnesota is now being called
the California of the mid-west!  UGH!"

Here's my PUBLIC response to ANOTHER UNINFORMED
person who didn't like me writing my book:

First, if somebody thinks it’s OK
for someone to 'SABBOTAGE' the CITY'S FIRE TRUCKS thereby DELAYING RESPONSE
TIMES and PUTTING FIREFIGHTER'S LIVES AT RISK and the CITY DIDN'T FILE A
POLICE REPORT with the CARVER COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE,
then; I guess THIS BOOK ISN'T INTENDED FOR THEM !!

Second, if a person thinks it’s OK for a City to SPEND $50,000.00 TAXPAYER DOLLARS trying (UNSUCCESSFULLY) to FORCE A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER to RESIGN
because of all of the GOVERNMENT WASTE  and INEFFICIENCY in his
City  that he’s UNCOVERING, then, I guess; THIS BOOK ISN'T INTENDED FOR THEM !!

Third, if a person thinks it’s OK for a CITY OFFICIAL to have RECEIVED TENS of THOUSANDS of TAXPAYER DOLLARS over the years to which they
WERE NOT ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, then, I guess;
THIS BOOK ISN'T INTENDED FOR THEM !!

(F.Y.I.; the City DID NOT seek to recover ANY of the TAXPAYER DOLLARS WRONGFULLY PAID !!)

Fourth, if a person thinks that PUBLIC OFFICIALS AREN'T RESPONSIBLE for their MISCONDUCT and should NOT HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS that YOU
and YOUR NEIGHBORS are, then; I GUESS THIS BOOK ISN'T INTENDED FOR THEM !!

Fifth, if a person thinks they are MORE INFORMED and BETTER QUALIFIED to
MAKE A JUDGMENT of what I’VE PERSONALLY OBSERVED and
EXPERIENCED taking place for the past TEN YEARS,
then; I GUESS THIS BOOK ISN'T INTENDED FOR THEM !!

Sixth, if somebody doesn’t take the time to learn the true facts BEFORE 'running  their mouth' and making their RECKLESS COMMENTS, then they have LOST ANY
CREDIBILITY that may have ever had !!

Seventh, when someone has ALL of the facts, as my book DOES; then, and
ONLY then; will they be QUALIFIED to make ANY VALID COMMENTS
about the content of my book.
THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY WEBPAGE

If this is your FIRST VISIT because you received a 'flyer' in the mail that was recently mailed out ANNOUNCING MY NEW BOOK or if  you're one of the OVER 108,000 LONG TIME VISITORS of my Websites & weekly Internet Show, WELCOME !!

For those of you visiting this Website about the CITY OF HAMBURG that don't know anything about me, I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer, soon to be 80 years old  (in August; no cards, please)  whose career began
in 1966; my much cherished 'P.O.S.T. License' (Minnesota Police Officer Standards & Training Board) remained active until mid-1997.

I retired in September 1984 after attaining the rank of 'SERGEANT" in both the COMMUNICATIONS and the WARRANT/FUGITIVE DIVISIONS within MINNESOTA'S LARGEST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY; the
HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

I also worked for the Minneapolis based SMITH AMBULANCE SERVICE back in the 1970's when the EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN/PARAMEDIC
concept was first introduced in Minnesota,
and also served my country as a
UNITED STATES AIR FORCE  FIRE PROTECTION SPECIALIST
(everybody has to have a 'title'; I was just a 'plain old Fireman' in the Air Force!!) from 1963 to 1969.

Upon retiring from the Sheriff's Office in1984,
I worked part-time for the MINNEAPOLIS EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER (now referred to as  MINNEAPOLIS 9-1-1), ANOKA COUNTY CENTRAL COMMUNICATIONS (now referred to as
ANOKA COUNTY 9-1-1) and as a Dispatcher for the WEST METRO DISTRICT
of the MINNESOTA STATE PATROL.

It's a pretty 'pathetic' situation when an ELECTED CITY COUNCIL MEMBER CAN'T, and  DOESN'T; trust the City's CLERK/TREASURER !! But; THAT'S THE REALITY !!

As time went on, I began NOT TRUSTING the City's 'other' PUBLIC OFFICIALS, EVEN MAYOR RICHARD MALZ; more and more. They were all, I concluded; 'birds of a feather' !!

The ONLY  one I ended up having any 'respect' for and trusting, was COUNCILMEMBER STEVE TREBESCH !!

As an ELECTED OFFICIAL of the CITY OF HAMBURG, I was SO CONCERNED about Gruenhagen's IMPULSIVE, NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR, that, on November 5, 2014, I sent a TEN PAGE LETTER to (then) City Councilmember Chris Lund; who was a member of the infamous HAMBURG PERSONNEL COMMITTEE, expressing my grave concern about Gruenhagen's HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE workplace conduct and behavior. A copy of that ten page letter to Lund is contained herein.

In addition to my ten page letter to Lund, I also had a lengthy telephone conversation with him (Lund) discussing Gruenhagen's poor representation of, and liability to, the CITY OF HAMBURG. Further, I went to then MAYOR RICHARD MALZ and discussed with him, at length, my concerns about Gruenhagen that I had discussed with Lund, as well as Gruenhagen's ACTIONS, 'EXPLOSIVE' TEMPER and  INAPPROPRIATE, EMBARRASSING BEHAVIOR.

COUNCILMEMBER CHRIS LUND, MAYOR RICHARD MALZ and the ENTIRE HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL TOTALLY IGNORED Gruenhagen's 'warning signs'; as well as my MAKING LUND and MALZAWARE of what was taking place involving Gruenhagen.

Like every other time that Gruenhagen's inappropriate actions and misdeeds were brought up and questioned, INCLUDING THIS TIME, the HAMBURG SIX 'covered' for him, his deplorable behavior & actions, and NOTHING WAS EVER DONE.

They were his 'enablers' and; in the FOUR YEARS that I was on the  HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL, I don't EVER recall ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTION TAKEN AGAINST GRUENHAGEN for his inappropriate actions and behavior !!

Read the content of my ten page letter I sent to Lund and see if YOU REALLY WANT someone with Gruenhagen's traits, character and past history, representing YOU and YOUR CITY !!

The remaining HAMBURG SIX are  ALSO GUILTY of PUBLIC OFFICIAL MISCONDUCT, MALFEASANCE, MISFEASANCE and NONFEASANCE because of their FAILURE TO TAKE APPROPRIATE, CORRECTIVE ACTION !!

Do I HATE Gruenhagen ? While I have EVERY REASON to do so, the DIRECT answer is OF COURSE NOT !! I'm NOT that kind of person.

But I STEADFASTLY REFUSE  to GIVE UP MY HONESTYSACRIFICE MY INTEGRITY or LOWER MY PERSONAL STANDARDS TO MATCH HIS, and THEIRS; that's why I never 'FIT IN', and NEVER WANTED to 'become a member' of the HAMBURG SEVEN !! (And I never did.)

I simply CAN'T RESPECT someone who I've witnessed LYING, NUMEROUS TIMES, not only to me, but ALSO to the (former) HAMBURG MAYOR and HAMBURG CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS, someone who deals in 'half-truths', someone that thinks that he, and the 'enablers' he surrounds himself with, are ABOVE THE LAW, NOT ACCOUNTABLE for their actions, exists under a constant  'CLOUD OF SUSPICION', and impugns my personal character, integrity and stellar reputation.
