What's Left of Maplewood (MN)

We can't draw, so we are left with verbal cartoons about Maplewood city politics.

The first thing we do, let's stiff all the lawyers

I've got a great idea.

Let's not pay the last bill our ex-lawyers present to us (they quit! they deserve it!), and let's replace them with a tiny firm with way less experience (but a lead attorney who teaches at the interim city manager's school) at less than half the price!

If we're going to routinely ignore the advice of city attorneys anyway, why not save money while we're at it?

    What are they going to do, sue?

    Lawyers? Sue? For unpaid bills for work done in good faith? Inconceivable!

    It's not so much the fact that they won't pay the bill. It's the way they do it. Let's just make up a definition that suits what we want to do.

    From a search on Google...

    Termination: a coming to an end of a contract period; end point: a place where something ends or is complete; the act of ending something; "the termination of the agreement"

    We don't care that the word termination doesn't fit. We just won't pay the bill anyway...Just because...

    I find it interesting that Knaak and Kantrud received the contract because they submitted the lowest bid. Knaak is closely linked with Longrie's husband (as is Copeland). Hmmm - Copeland opening bids - His buds receiving the contract because they had the lowest bid. Things that make you go - hmmmmm
