Oak Grove's municipal turmoil continues with latest firing

Several city employees have paid a harsh price, says an employee who alleges harassment and intimidation. The City Council majority stands by its actions. In less than two years, Oak Grove has replaced its mayor, city administrator, building official, half its City Council and will soon hire a new accountant after firing a 12-year employee who says City Hall could not be more dysfunctional. The mayor and selected City Council members "have been harassing and intimidating city employees for years, and I'm their third victim," said Julie Lohse, Oak Grove's longtime accountant/IT technician, who was fired last month and is now under investigation by the Anoka County sheriff and state auditor.
