UPDATE James Norman - Albert Lea credit card misuse prosecution.

Reported Feb. 2, KAAL tv, that proceedings against the former City of Ramsey city administrator are moved to Austin, Mower County, Judge Fred Wellman presiding. Most recently a Feb. 8 hearing was reported, involving a Norman dismissal effort based on selective prosecution [a claim that others in Albert Lea city officialdom acted no differently, but are not being equally hounded]; this link. It seems that Norman got cross-wise of the Moen family in Albert Lea, and Ms. Rhonda Moen's tenure on the city payroll - indeed reportedly in charge of it as town CFO - is the main focus of Norman claims of biased pursuit and prosecution. This link. See, e.g., here and here, for Moen background, etc. The situation has dragger out since last summer, and Norman and the town severed his employment relationship last September.

Ramsey should have something available for citizens like that Albert Lea Discussion Forum (the last link above). It would be a good place to find newsworthy opinion.
