Shame, Shame, Shame!Coffee shop rumors seem to prevail over good judgment and facts from what I have seen, heard and read.Example #1: Two good men, Dave Hauge and Tom Martius, were not returned to their positions on the city council after our last election. In my opinion both were trying very hard to study the facts and base their decisions on what was best for the city of Luverne. Example #2: the law enforcement issue which brought forth much discussion. It seems that the county would not budge at all on the issue until the appointment of a committee of 12 outstanding citizens who were to study the issue in depth. The county then quickly accepted one of the many proposals that the city had offered. Why? Because the study would have shown that the city could have saved about $100,000 per year and had more control with a City Police Force. Example #3: It was brought to the public’s attention that Rock County was still charging the citizens of Luverne a large sum of money for closing a Land Fill Project that had been completed for some time now. Why" I have not seen any apology for this situation nor a repayment plan. Example #4: City Administrator fired! I read in the Worthington Daily Globe (May 11) what Mayor Andy Steensma’s reply was to the situation and Esther Frakes’ comments to the Star Herald as to what was the cause of the termination. Read their own words about the qualities that Greg La Fond possessed and used in doing his duty as city administrator. They said he was well liked by all Luverne employees, had great knowledge of government regulations and leadership. No one had a bad thing to say about him and yet he was given a no-cause termination? All this was done in a special City Council meeting that violated the Minnesota State Meeting Laws. I agree wholeheartedly with Sara Quam’s comments in the May 12th issue of the Star Herald. Who will want to become the new City Administrator when they learn that La Fond did everything right, and still lost his job? I blame coffee shop rumors. This should be of great concern to all of us.A concerned citizen.Eugene MannLuverne
