Carolyn Campbell, who signed up for the meeting’s public forum, accused county officials and staff of unlawfully seizing her property and said their actions violated her constitutional rights.
Campbell addressed the Wabasha County Board of Commissioners and named “the county administrator, the county attorney and the zoning administrator” among those she said were responsible. She said, “My constitutional rights were violated. They belong to me, not to you.”
She referenced what she called partial or misleading statements by county officials and told the board she intends to pursue litigation in federal court. Campbell said, “A half truth is worst of all lies when it can be defended in partiality,” and later, “I will be seeking discovery in the federal lawsuit against you.”
The board did not take action during the public forum segment; the meeting proceeded to the agenda’s action items after Campbell’s remarks. No county response to her allegations is recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
Ending: Campbell’s remarks were recorded during public forum; the transcript shows the meeting moved on to action and planning items with no public follow-up recorded on her claims.
