Walsh, Crosby and Veach Break Open Meeting Law, Again?
During the "For Profit" Pavilion ground breaking, Mayor Walsh and Orono Council members #richardcrosby and #mariaveach decided to hold a quorum without notifying the Citizens of Orono.
This appears to be yet again another violation of Open Meeting Law https://mn.gov/admin/data-practices/meetings/rules/
This law is in place to protect the Citizens so that they can know what is happening and participate in the governance of their community.

Wealthy Orono Leverages Charity for the Needy - For Themselves?
You read that right - Orono - the 6th Wealthiest City in Minnesota - is leveraging a charity to build a shelter at its own revenue-generating golf course.

to design/build structure in For Profit Golf Course
Orono Mayor Denny Walsh has coordinated behind the scenes to have a structure built on the Orono Golf Course. What is odd about this is that he is asking the Charitable Organization @Lionsclub to do it.
Currently, Walsh is spending tens of millions on other Orono projects so why rope in a charity to build something for - dare we say - a sport for the wealthy? Is it because he has run out of park funding right now in Orono? Is it because he wants this built for another special interest group?
Why is Mayor Walsh Building without the Citizens?
Today is the day to write a quick email to Orono’s City Administrator Adam Edwards! aedwards@oronomn.gov
Tell him why this Pavilion or Lean-to as Mayor Walsh calls it should be on hold until Citizens can share their ideas and opinions.
Orono’s Public Golf Course is a historic property and should be carefully considered when planning major changes.
