Bad News
It is looking more and more that the East 65 expansion debt that the previous Mayor and Council burden us with is going to trigger higher water and sewer charges.... We tried to refinance but the State has made that to costly... we are still looking at other options but the options are quickly disappearing.... I especially hate this as I voted against this costly expansion and the taking of property from a private landowner.....

Seriously stop blaming everyone else. You were on the council you didn't do your job to get the council to do the right thing. You are equally to blame so stop being so negative. Your negativity and slander of lundeen has changed a lot of votes for him.
You seriously misinformed.... I voted against this give away to the developer.... I fought against this, I wrote against this and I was attacked in open Council often for fighting against it... I would love to know what you mean I did not do my job... perhaps you should talk to the majority of three who made their money from the building trades that voted to give away Isanti's future...
I am curious what slander you are talking about... I have spoken several times with Mr. Lundeen.....
Holy cow are you kidding me? George fought to stop this crazy project and spending!!! Anonymous you are either blinded by hatred or seriously delusional!!!
If not for George the city would have added millions more in debt and raised taxes through the roof!!!
I hope you die a miserable death for all the destruction you have caused Isanti!
Well hopefully not for a very long time.....
OMG the level of hatred towards George for working to fix all the problems he inherited. I am sorry you have to put up with this and pray you do not just walk away.
George is being honest with us about the tough times we are facing. He spoke at Senior Dining and told us a lot of bad things and it was really sad. I love he is honest with us even if it is hard to hear.
When did any other Mayor or city leader work so hard and tell us everything like he does? George could be nicer and try to ease us into things better but how can you criticize him.
As far as I can tell he has always been against the fast housing development and wanted more businesses first. Now he is trying hard to fix the problem and you want to crucify him for it. I would not blame him if he choose to leave the mess others made.
George is either a Saint or stupid for working so hard only to get so much crap.
Why should everyone else in town have to pay for expansion that never happened? You want to raise sewer and water rates? You need to do what everyone else does,let the bank have it back and walk away,hopefully a little wiser.
I do not want to raise any rates but unfortunately the bonds have to be paid... the City can not just stop payments.... if that happened the City would never again be able to bond for any improvements. These bonds were financed through the state.... that is scary that anyone would think it would be OK for a government entity to no longer pay its debts... many of which are owned by local banks entities ....
Unfortunately the people Isanti voters elected previously put us all in this situation....
Slander, I have heard so many things around town that you don't want lundeen on the city council. I honestly think he would to wonders on the council.
And again what did I say.. specifics please... if you are going to bad mouth me at least please tell me what I said

"You seriously misinformed...." What???
Come on and spit it out George!Were you seriously going to call them a name???
WOW!!
Thats real Classy for the Mayor...NOT!
If you can't take the heat, do us all a HUGE favor and just stay out of the kitchen!
Calling someone misinformed not name calling.... it is as it says... they are misinformed if they have that belief
I Say again if people dont like the way things are being done, I remember running against george in the last election by myself, for all these people to to sit here and say such Shitty things. You need to do something about it, any one can second guess it takes a real man or woman to stand up and fight for what you beleive in. Maybe next election we should see more than just George and a "wife beating convict" running for your dissaproval!! George I can honestly say I am happy I didnt win! best of luck to you and yours in the future!
