Aaron Stacy Roberts challenges due process violations in farmland sale and legal retaliation

The City of Waterloo City Council meeting on March 17, 2025, featured a public comment from resident Thomas Anderson, who raised serious concerns regarding due process and alleged corruption involving local officials. Anderson detailed his experiences with the Waterloo Police and city attorney Kellyanne LeCarr, claiming that his civil rights were violated during legal proceedings related to a property dispute.

Anderson specifically criticized the handling of a 109-acre farmland sale, asserting that the property was sold for significantly less than its market value, which he estimated to be over a million dollars. He accused LeCarr and Judge David Odekirk of misconduct, alleging that they failed to include crucial documentation in the case and allowed a questionable attorney to facilitate the sale.

He expressed frustration over what he described as a lack of accountability and transparency in the judicial process, stating that he had filed complaints with the commission on judicial qualifications. Anderson concluded his remarks by indicating his intention to return to the council next month to continue addressing these issues.

The meeting underscored ongoing concerns among residents regarding the integrity of local governance and the judicial system, highlighting the need for further discussion and potential action on these matters.
