Rolette County's Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Sept. 2, 2025, to move into executive session to receive a legal update on the lawsuit LONGIE v. Rolette County. The motion to enter executive session was made by Commissioner Zaste and seconded by Commissioner Abrahamson and carried on a roll call vote of members present.
State Attorney Brian Grosinger briefed commissioners during the executive session on the status of LONGIE v. Rolette County and indicated that "this case is a possible dismissal; they are just waiting on the judge," according to the meeting record. The update contains no further public detail in the transcript about the grounds for dismissal or a projected timeline for the judge's action.
