Here’s one I sent out a few minutes ago.
From: Little Red Hen
To: anyone who would like to do more than eat the bread
For reasons I might take time to blog about later I was unable to overnight the new cashiers check to the bonding company in Montevideo MN. (It was also helpful of the Sixth District Court to misspell the name of one of the plaintiffs on their $100,000 cashiers check thus rendering it worthless and costing us a day’s delay)
You can pester me with all the questions you like about this but you won’t like the answers any better than I do.
As you know, without the surety bond there will be no trial.
The earliest anyone can guarantee delivery from Duluth to Montivideo, MN, is Tuesday too late for us to get the surety bond in the six alotted days demanded by the Court.
If no one else volunteers to drive the bond and attachments down on Monday I will have to do it. (I’m looking for volunteers) Also, sometime over the weekend if you stay tuned to my blog you will learn that the information I have may be insufficient to guarantee that the bond will even be offered to us. I suffered my hopeless despair over this yesterday afternoon. I’m over it. We will either get it or we won’t. I will move heaven and earth to make sure we get it.
As things now stand I have a couple days worth of work printing out email for additional discovery. I thought I had produced most of what would be expected of me but I was wrong. I’ll have to print out more than a redacted list of email. I’ll have to go through them and print out those emails that look like they have something to do with the discovery demands of the District and JCI. That will take a lot of time. I’m sure Dr. Dixon would exult to learn how much I have been tied up. I can’t wait for it to be his turn.
I got a repreive from our attorney on cranking these emails out which runs out Tuesday. I promised all of you that I would not release email with your names and email addresses on them. I should not have made that promise. That’s not how discovery works and, of course, we are demanding email from JCI and ISD 709.
I’ll make an offer to all of you at the end of this email which may get your names removed but which also may be pointless especially if I have to drive to Montevideo to deliver the bond on Monday.
Before I make that offer I would like to make these points.
1. The District couldn’t care less about most of you or your involvement in this. They want to injure Gary Glass and me.
2. I’ve never seen anything in any email on the Red Plan that I’ve sent or received that would get anyone, Gary or me included, in any kind of legal trouble – certainly nothing having to do with the transmission of either public documents or personal opinions.
3. I recognize that any current School District employees or employees of any business doing construction on the Red Plan whose names were found on our list would be outed. I know of no District employees on our email list.
4. This is information the District and JCI probably already have. Why would I say this? There are about forty names on this list and each of us has received thousands of pieces over the last couple years. To think at that at least one piece of this email with our names or email addresses attached hasn’t been forwarded to someone on the other side is naieve. I get all of Mimi Larsen’s email to Move Forward Duluth that way. She has, however, made sure no one can see anyone’s name or email address on her email communications. I don’t know how to do that.
5. If, as I expect, four anti-Red Plan board members are elected in November Dr. Dixon will effectively be defanged and will be unable to harass his employees ever again.
Here’s my offer:
Those of you in a panic about your names are free to come over to my house and redact them. You can go through every email I print out and cross off your name or email address if you see it. I’m going to go and buy a couple ink cartridges and fully expect to print out a thousand or more sheets of paper doing this.
Its possible that even if you take the time to do this the defense attorneys will object and the judge will require me to submit unredacted email anyway.
So there you have it. In my opinion the District already knows who you are or could figure it out. They aren’t interested in you anyway. And there’s nothing you’ve ever done that could get you in trouble.
Nonetheless, if you wish to cross your names off I’ll make my email printouts available to you if I’m in town to let you go through them.
Let me know if you’d be willing to drive to Montevideo and/or if you want to redact your names. I haven’t started printing emails out yet. I’ll probably start this afternoon.
