MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 11, 2022 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 of 9 dealing with such a character and he has not very affectionately coined the Mayor as “the weasel Walsh” because that is how he behaves in society. He plays games, nobody knows what is happening, and then it comes out. The crazy thing is all of these years and all of the things that have been done such as threatening Mr. Nygard’s family, kids, his wife and her job, and their mortgage and it has all been documented. Mr. Walsh cleared his bluff and somehow got the City to ask Mound if it was okay. They got a neighbor to sue the City, to sue Mr. Nygard, and then appointed that person to a Commission for doing so, a new Commission created by the Mayor. The Mayor formed a company called Go Green Energy, LLC Corporation mirroring Mr. Nygard’s Go Green Energy LLC and then used City funds, including the supposed lawyer here, to back up the ploy and has never once been held accountable for those actions. Mr. Nygard noted it is really fun watching the Mayor because he is fulfilling the descriptor Mr. Nygard named him, weasel, which is exactly how he is acting by looking around and playing games. Mr. Nygard remembers at one point the Mayor’s kids would come down to Mr. Nygard’s garage and want to hang out with him and he told them they were not his kids and why don’t they go home and deal with their dad, to which they stated they did not want to go home. From what Mr. Nygard understands, these kids are not his favorites, he has other kids that are his favorites. He stated people that do not know Dennis Walsh, unfortunately, are fooled by Dennis Walsh and that he has been in lawsuits with his own family, has gotten in drunken bar fights, and has called the cops ass pipe fucks when they pulled him over he was so drunk. Mr. Nygard has not done any of that…this is what Mayor Walsh does and what he has perpetrated on society. Mr. Nygard really feels bad for Brad Erickson because Mayor Walsh used him to remove Mr. Nygard’s products out of the City, he coerced Mr. Erickson, put a knee on his throat and said they as a City will not support his recovering money from Hennepin County unless he takes down Mr. Nygard’s turbine. This was while Mayor Walsh filed Go Green Energy, LLC Corporation while on the Orono City Council. It is really sad that people up here have not taken the time to look at Mayor Walsh and done one of the dozens of investigations Mr. Nygard has asked for related to that specific conduct. Mr. Nygard noted one other specific lie said by the Mayor. Mr. Nygard came up to the podium one time and asked everyone who had attended ethics training and that Mr. Walsh had to lie about that, look around, and raise his hand. Mr. Nygard said he has a couple more brain cells than Mayor Walsh because he actually did a data request and found out that Mayor Walsh never attended ethics trainings. Mr. Nygard knew the answer to the question and he knew exactly how Mayor Walsh was going to answer. Why? Because he is the weasel. Mr. Nygard closed by saying turbine guy, signing off. Mayor Walsh asked if anyone else would like to speak tonight. Crosby asked to speak and stated this behavior is despicable. Mr. Nygard shouted from the back of the room. Crosby replied Mr. Nygard had his time to talk and Crosby is also a citizen of this City and he is going to talk. Mr. Nygard approached the podium again with his wife Mrs. Nygard and said he appreciates that this time he was not interrupted angrily like last time and that they are able to control themselves unlike last time. But to sit here and take shots at him is ridiculous.
