Grow Fergus Falls seeking a delay for April 22 special vote

Posted by Fergus Forum On March - 7 - 2010

“Grow Fergus Falls, Inc.” is seeking an injunction that would delay or stop the upcoming April 22nd special vote on a proposed spending ordinance.

The people behind Grow Fergus Falls include Robert Block, Scott Wagnald, Kelsey Felstul, Chad Felstul, and Erik Ahlgren, with attorneys Morrie Kershner and Steve Rufer representing them.

On the court hearing on March 5th, Kershner  told Judge Mark Hansen that the proposed spending ordinance, brought together by the Fergus Votes Committee, is unworkable and it would halt business growth within the city. Grow Fergus Falls also believes that the Fergus Votes ordinance is a “minefield of disasters”.

The attorneys representing Grow Fergus Falls are passionate about the success of the injunction and are providing their services for free.

Rolf Nycklemoe, an attorney for the City of Fergus Falls, says they’re still preparing for the April 22nd vote, and will continue to do so unless a judge grants the injunction.  The next court hearing could come as early as this week.
