You really can’t make this stuff up. There is actually a letter to the editor of The Laker Pioneer this morning praising their slanted coverage of the “Our Minnetrista” scandal from an “Our Minnetrista” member, Wendy Applegate, who was identified as such in subpoenaed emails discussing their illegal financial scheme. See page 5 of the Laker Pioneer July 27 edition. The author also wrote a letter to the Laker editor back on September 10, 2014 announcing the formation of Our Minnetrista and a fundraiser for them.
Wake up Minnetrista.
The above email was trial exhibit #61 and is public information in case number OAH 71-0325-35774.
Another letter to the Laker editor titled “Kudos to Local Paper for Minnetrista Coverage” was in last week’s paper from Deanna Montang who is notably an “Our Minnetrista” member as well and appears as a recipient in the trial exhibit email above.
Also note that at the July 15 Minnetrista council meeting several people listed in this trial exhibit were the individuals speaking in support of the mayor and two council members fined for campaign finance violations. Of course they support the “Our Minnetrista” public officials. They are “Our Minnetrista” leaders.
