FISH LAKE TOWNSHIP INVOVLED IN FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT
Former supervisor Timothy O’Keefe has initiated a lawsuit against Fish Lake Township,
two current supervisors and the town clerk. O’Keefe has alleged a number of violations of state law, that have absolutely no
basis in fact or law. Indeed, the Chisago County Attorney’s Office has found no basis to investigate the matter further. Nonetheless, O’Keefe seems inclined to waste the taxpayers’ money on pursuing frivolous claims.
For instance, O’Keefe alleges
the Township improperly approved payment of a fire contract in 2006, despite the fact he voted to approve its payment and was
present for the discussion of it as a supervisor. In short, O’Keefe fails to provide any facts to support his spurious claims. The Township and its officials look forward to being vindicated in this litigation and will be seeking their attorney’s fees and costs
against O’Keefe for having to respond to these claims.
The Township and its officials are represented by Bloomington attorney
Paul D. Reuvers from the firm of Iverson Reuvers, LLC. Reuvers has advised all Township officials to defer comment to him at
952-548-7205.
