JCI, unlicensed work, and hardball

Art Johnson responded to Dr. Dixon’s claim that only one unlicensed professional worked on the Red plan. According to Art its illegal and he responded with a letter to the Reader Weekly outing a whole lot more.

Just before it was published Art got a call telling him his letter was “actionable.” That’s threat meaning “we could sue you so please shut up. Art just laughed it off saying he’s been sued before and went ahead and had it published.

That so reminds me of the letter the Two Harbors Superintendent sent me last year.

Money quote:

“Dixon has now publicly brought forward the name of one of the unregistered architects that the School District has used. But he failed to list several others. According to the JCI January 24, 2006 response to the School District’s Request For Proposal (RFP), Harold Lerner is listed as being on the JCI design team and is identified with “AIA” (American Institute of Architects). Another is Mark Beyer who is listed as a “PE” (Professional Engineer). These are also violations of Minnesota law Chapter 326 as neither of these people are registered by the State of Minnesota.”
