With the Ramsey Town Center related indictments of three Community National Bank former officials, this is worth another mention.


William Sandison, Ross Sandison and Curt Martinson are the three that were recently indicted - see, e.g., here - it was widely enough reported that I give no other links.

That CNB involvement leads me to link back to here, about a Lino Lakes VFW post situation which is unfortunate and informative - with commercial real estate now looking depressed, etc., but with this situation dating back apparently to 2004 construction contracting.

Links I could find are here, and here, with that last May 16, 2007 item (quoting a "Lyle Carpenter") being the source of the opening photo.

The Feb. 9, 2009 Strib story is still online, also mentioning a "Lyle Carpenter," as well as a "Dean Harvey Johnson, then of Circle Pines," and a "Gerald (Jerry) Russell Peterson of Roseville," here.

I wonder about the one bank executive, Jerome Peterson, and about the foreclosure practices of that Lino Lakes CNB branch.

Again, anyone with information is encouraged to contact me.
