MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />April 10, 2023 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS <br /> <br />Jay Nygard, 1386 Rest Point Road Orono, Minnesota, I think you guys are a bunch of frickin hypocrites. <br />You're talking Earth Day, when you took away all penalties for trees being cut down in the zero to 75 <br />with your ordinances. How about reinstating the ordinance to protect the lake instead of having little <br />Earth Day conversations and pretending that you're doing something important? Nygard said Edwards <br />had lied repeatedly on Nygard’s You Tube stream that morning. Mr. Edwards made three different lies <br />today. First lie, he stated that the City of Orono is not representing Dennis Walsh. But I have, right here, a <br />notice of appearance from a lawyer. He said the notice certifies that an attorney will appear for Dennis <br />Walsh, resident. A second lawyer also notified the court that he would appear for Dennis Walsh, resident, <br />according to Nygard. You said I should get a lawyer because I don't know what I'm talking about. Here's <br />the paperwork. These are two of them. Here's number three. The defendants City of Orono and Dennis <br />Walsh, Orono Mayor in his individual and official capacity. So right here the City of Orono answered for <br />Walsh. The same for Dennis Walsh's private business dealings. This is your tax money these guys are <br />happily shoveling out the door to protect Walsh. This is your money and my money. I'm paying taxes for <br />him to defend himself against me. And the last lie you said today, Mr. Edwards, was that I had never won <br />against the City of Orono. He said in a lawsuit he had specifically won the right for everybody who lives <br />in Orono to harvest the wind. Orono did not appeal that. Yes, I won. The unfortunate part is it appears that <br />you haven't read this at all and I like how you're smirking and smiling, I really do, because it goes to show <br />your character. <br /> <br />Brad Erickson, 2485 Independence Road. It's unfortunate. Mr. Crosby is not here again tonight. Really, <br />really weird. If he's not fit for the office, then maybe he should just bow out. I want to bring everybody's <br />attention back to what started over a year ago or about a year ago now. I've been coming up here. I've <br />been telling you what's going on. He said he did an FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request and <br />found that Walsh had been informed about Crosby’s association with the Proud Boys by early 2021. He <br />said he just saw a pic posted on Twitter going after an Orono City Council member. Before this blows up, <br />get ahead of it. They are young punk keyboard terrorists. I don't know your City Council Member that <br />they are targeting, but I'm pretty certain he's neither a racist or a white supremacist. You know what? I'm <br />pretty certain he is. You can sit there and smirk all you want and act like you guys are complicit. You <br />know it. There's a lawsuit coming in, it names the City again, because of this clown in the middle. Okay, <br />he wants to go after me. Here's what I would suggest. If you're going to throw shade at somebody, you <br />probably shouldn't use the words of a slave master and child rapist. Does that make any sense to anybody <br />up here? I don't think so. These are your heroes. These are the people you want to emulate. Mr. Crosby <br />comes back from J6. There's an email that goes out from Ron (Olson) here that says you may be <br />contacted by an outside group asking questions about Council Member Crosby. Please do not comment or <br />answer questions. That's what was going on after the J6 stuff. Nobody thinks it's a big deal. <br /> <br />Dave Williams, 2055 Webber Hills Road. I got dragged into the sewer when I was here last month, so I <br />apologize for that. But I do want to say that about 10 years ago I was thinking about moving to <br />Minneapolis because I had grown up near there and going to the U and my child had graduated from <br />Orono and I figured it was time maybe to move on. But I'm so glad I did not move to Minneapolis, <br />because I don't think that place is ever coming back. And I'm very glad to be in Orono because of people
