The findings are presented online, here.
The Board's findings absolve Elwyn Tinklenberg for not registering with them as a lobbyist in 2008, on behalf of City or Ramsey, regarding its effort to gain a Northstar rail stop.
Make of it what you will. The matter is closed.
The complaint was narrowly defined, to a most recent 2008 matter involving only City of Ramsey, and did not reach to any earlier Ramsey matter where a total of $840,000 has been disbursed from Ramsey to Tinklenberg Group over time, 2003 to present.
Promoting taconite tailings was not at issue. No other municipality's situations were a part of the complaint. No train advocacy beyond the question of a Northstar stop at Ramsey was put before the board for review.
The process is clear if anybody else wants to call any other activity into question.
