Rambling Rave

Well tonight's Council meeting unfortunately had yet another rambling rave by Mr. Iverson. I did not comment when he made his goofy remarks a few weeks ago and asked that I resign as Mayor and leave town. Engaging someone who has such a causal relationship with the facts is unnecessary.

I do however feel compelled to comment on his ridiculous claim tonight that the behavior of the City of Isanti and I towards him, equates to the brutal invasion of the Soviet Union by the Nazis.

Counts vary but the total is roughly 20,000,000 to 25,000,000 men, women and children killed on the Eastern Front. Again counts vary but of this number 13,000,000 to 18,000,000 were civilians.

Mr. Iverson's statement is a great insult to the tragic loss of life in the face of the most heinous regime in human history. I do not know if I should be offended by his statement or simply pity its author for his complete lack of knowledge and understanding of his comments.

You should have asked if those natzies were worse or better then the ones that invaded France, or Poland or any of the various other countries they slaughtered people in so you had a clear picture of where you stand.

It is sad comparison and unfortunate that you still have to deal with this blathering.

Keep going strong. You are the best Mayor we have ever had. That moron Iverson should be run out of town.

I was in the audience at the historical building saturday. Your speech was great.

Mr. Iverson has a strange way of recognizing truth. First he criticizes the Mayor for being "fiscally irresponsible" to the City of Isanti after taxes were REDUCED for the first time in over a decade. Then, beyond insulting the millions of victims and family members associated with the holocaust by comparing so-called attrocities in Isanti to WWII, he failed to mention his own illegal actions of taking single family homes and turning them into duplexes which is against State Law because of health & safety concerns. Many of us appreciate you standing up for what's best for Isanti, not just for one person's pocketbook.

Illegitimi non carborundum is a mock-Latin aphorism jokingly taken to mean "don't let the bastards grind you down".


Sorry, but I had to look it up. He not only wastes time at the meetings, but staff time during the week as well.

Grow up Mr. Iverson.

Why don't you develop elsewhere if you think you are being treated unfairly?

The rich and powerful are so use to buying what they want even if its votes. Keep standing up for us because no one else will. We need you to protect us from these type of people.

George, keep up the fight. I am suprised to see "ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM" on your site again, Henry, were did you see this? It was a motto of one of my submarines and is a good thing to go by. If Mr Iverson knew the fight that our family had against the true evil of WWII, he would hang his head in shame. It is easy for the weak to sling mud at the strong, when they can not back up their "mud" with facts. You are doing right by and for your citizens and those are the hardest to fight for, but you do have the support of the good people of Isanti. You have done well by your strong stand, George and I am VERY proud of you, little brother!
