What are the duties of the city manager and city law enforcement agency? One, to help residents that are victims of civil law violation crimes? Second, to take information on civil law ordinance violations and check it out? No, not here in Albert Lea. Third, to ignore people’s requests for action on violation issues reported to them? Yes, very much so here in Albert Lea.

Someone vandalizes city property and it’s big TV news. Someone vandalizes private property and nothing is done when these issues are reported to city law enforcement.

What are these civil law violations that are not enforced — trespassing, stealing, lying, fraud, city ordinances, corruption, etc.
