Comments Made By Three Term Carver County Sheriff 'Bud' Olson During One Of His Many Appearances As
A Guest On My Internet Show !!
Dick:
Thanks for your Public Service; you do so much and probably don't get recognized for any of it.
But, you are a wonderful asset for Carver County and Hamburg and for your radio listening community; you're just a great guy.
Thanks so much.
My prayer would be more Dick Odoms' would rise up and get involved in their lives, in their communities nd also in our way of life ! Our future needs courageous leaders who are not afraid to 'challenge' the process and our leaders. America needs our involvement more than ever before because of the polarization that is taking place at all levels of government and our lives.
I have tried to think of any part of my life where government is not involved in some way, shape or form. While I believe we cannot live without "the people" looking out for each other, I believe we have created a monster that has an appetite we can not sustain. Something has to give ......
I have ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE of ANY 'three ring binder' that you reference in your May 31, 2023 letter. I have NO IDEA of that which you
speak; to the very best of my knowledge, NO SUCH ITEM EXISTS !!
Further, based on the principle of the "CLEAN HANDS" Doctrine, as CLEARLY SUBSTANTIATED by the information contained on my Webpage, www.THEDELTASHOW.com/HAMBURGSURVEY.html; you are hereby advised that your communication dated May 31, 2023, as well as ANY and ALL future similar FABRICATED, FRIVOLOUS and INCONSEQUENTIAL correspondence on behalf of the City of Hamburg; constitute
HARASSMENT, IMPINGEMENTS on, and VIOLATIONS of, my RIGHT TOFREEDOM OFEXPRESSION and my RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH, as guaranteed in the FIRST AMMENDMENT of the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, and will be dealt with appropriately and accordingly.
"You have much respect from my view, you stand for
fairness and what is right."
"This is great.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO LISTEN !!!"
"You're doing the right thing."
"Your post in Gov Walz...his immediate call to end no knock search warrants, loosing
3rd Pct to rioters, endorsing Keith Ellison,
and general anti law enforcement views,
sure cause me to think twice about him."
"I obviously have a prejudicial view on the subject but, I have been appalled at
Walz general anti LE views."
"Love your pulling back the curtain and exposing the inner workings of Carver County's 'Land of Oz'; A.K.A. Hamburg !"

2022 MINNESOTA STATUTES
609.43 MISCONDUCT OF PUBLIC OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE.
A public officer or employee who does any of the following, for which no other sentence is specifically provided by law, may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than one year or to payment of a fine of not more than $3,000, or both:
(1) intentionally fails or refuses to perform a known mandatory, nondiscretionary, ministerial duty of the office or employment within the time or in the manner required by law; or
(2) in the capacity of such officer or employee, does an act knowing it is in excess of lawful authority or knowing it is forbidden by law to be done in that capacity; or
(3) under pretense or color of official authority intentionally and unlawfully injures another in the other's person, property, or rights; or
(4) in the capacity of such officer or employee, makes a return, certificate, official report, or other like document having knowledge it is false in any material respect.
During my Hamburg Mayoral Campaign last fall, I posted information on my Website about the telephone company CENTURYLINK agreeing to pay the State of Minnesota $8.9 MILLION DOLLARS to about 12,000 current and former Minnesota customers who were 'victimized' for CENTURYLINK's alleged 'fraudulent billing practices'.
I'm curious to know if anyone who was eligible for the $480.00 refund from CENTURYLINK (and filed the required 'Refund Claim Form BEFORE LAST OCTOBER'S DEADLINE) ever received their CENTURYLINK refund.
It's now been OVER FOUR MONTHSsince I spoke with the Minnesota Attorney General's Office (on May 3, 2023 @ 11:26AM) and I haven't received my refund check for $480.00 or heard anything further about why it's taking so long. (During my telephone conversation with them, I was told by the Minnesota Attorney General's Office that the refund checks were supposed to 'start going out' within about two weeks from my May 3rd telephone conversation.)
It's 'troubling' to have learned that even though there was $8.9 MILLION DOLLARS paid by CENTURYLINK to the State of Minnesota to settle the suit brought against them, ONLY 3,000 PEOPLE APPLIED (of the 12,000 people eligible) for the refund.
While it's NOT KNOWN how many people (if anybody) ACTUALLY RECEIVED the $480.00 refund; that's the purpose for me posting this request for additional information. If, per chance, you got your $480.00 refund, I'd like to hear from you at [email protected], so I can figured out how much of the $8.9 MILLION DOLLARS was actually 'refunded' to current and former Minnesota CENTURYLINK customers. EVEN IF all 3,000 applicants that applied DID, in fact; receive their payments (and we KNOW that didn't happen), that amounts to only $1.4 MILLION DOLLARS, and
NOTE: On October 29th, I contacted the OFFICEof theMINNESOTA LEGISLATVE AUDITOR and informed that Office of how poorly (and how 'questionably') this matter INVOLVING $8.9 MILLION DOLLARShas been dealth with and (mis)handled by MINNESOTA ATTORNEY
GENERAL KEITH ELLISON.

For those of you who are STILL WAITING for your portion of the $8.9 MILLION DOLLAR 'settlement' that CenturyLink agreed to pay to the State of Minnesota for their 'questionable billing practices', you're gonna have to wait a little longer. EVEN THOUGH the MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE told me LAST SPRING that the 'checks would start going out in a couple of weeks' that apparently was 'BAD INFORMATION' !! In response to my inquiry to the Minnesota Legislative Auditor's Office of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT $8.9 MILLION DOLLARS THAT THE STATE OF MINNESOTA RECEIVED FROM CENTURYLINK, here's the relevant portion of an e-mail that I received from that Agency, today:
"Mr. Odoms,
Thank you again for contacting the Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) with your concerns regarding the Attorney General’s Office’s (AGO) handling of a class-action settlement with CenturyLink. We appreciate your patience as we worked to further investigate your concern. AGO generally does not make settlement payments until all claimants have been verified. Depending on the number of claimants in any particular case, this process can be quite lengthy. We regret that would could not be of greater assistance, but hope the above information is helpful.
Kind regards,
Libby A. Wallace | Special Reviews Auditor | Special Reviews"
*Early on in my book, I clearly identify HAMBURG CITY CLERK/TREASURER JEREMY GRUENHAGEN as a person
I couldn't trust; the following appears on Page 11 of my book, "PUBLIC OFFICIALS BEHAVING BADLY":
"I quickly learned that he was a person, a CITY OFFICIAL, yet; that I COULD NOT, and WOULD NOT, EVER TRUST AGAIN !! I don't trust him to this day ! He is the SINGLE PERSON* that I hold TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE* for the CHAOS that began during the last two and a half years of my City Council term and how the resultant, deleterious consequences of his actions back then, have seriously, and NEGATIVELY, impacted OUR ENTIRE CITY to this day."
CLICK HERE to hear theACTUAL AUDIOfrom theSEPTEMBER 2014City Council Meeting whenGRUENHAGEN PUBLICLY&INTENTIONALLY 'BLIND-SIDED' MEand note GRUENHAGEN'S 'VOICE INFLECTION'. I submit that GRUENHAGEN WAS LYING TO, and IN FRONT OF; the ENTIRE HAMBURG CITY COUNCILALMOST FASTER THAN HE COULD TALK !!It'sALL DOCUMENTEDand it's ALL in my book !!
Sadly, three 'leftover' HAMBURG CITY OFFICIALS that I served with while a City Council Member from 2013 to 2017 remain. Hamburg 'contract' City Attorney KELLY C. DOHM, supplied under contract with the Waconia based law firm of MELCHERT, HUBERT & SJODIN, former Hamburg City Councilmember and current mayor CHRIS LUND and, of course; Hamburg City Clerk/Treasurer JEREMY GRUENHAGN still remain and, in my opinion; continue to be a detriment' to the City and our residents; as evidenced by the MANY examples cited on my MANY Webpages about the City of Hamburg, & the information contained in my book, "PUBLIC OFFICIALS BEHAVING BADLY"; available 'On-Line' at:
Having NOT received ANY response (or even an acknowledgement) of my TWO letters sent to the MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE Newspaper's CEO and PUBLISHER, STEVE GROVE; I 'went up the chain' to GLEN TAYLOR,
majority owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves of the National
Basketball Association since 1994, owner of the
Minnesota Lynx of the Women's National
Basketball Association and the part
owner of the Minnesota United
FC of Major League Soccer,
also
OWNS THE MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE
Newspaper !!
Here's An Excerpt of my November 16, 2023 letter to Mr. Taylor:
"My purpose in contacting you is to ask a basic question
of you and your newspaper: "WHAT HAS
HAPPENED TO YOUR NEWSPAPER’S INTEGRITY,IMPARTIALITYand FAIRNESS
that, at one time; permeated your
newspaper and was their ’hallmark’ ??"
Mr. Taylor OWES HIS NEWSPAPER’S READERS an EXPLANATION as to WHY the
LARGEST NEWSPAPER IN MINNESOTA
(of which HEis the OWNER), chose to
'KILL' A STORY
about, perhaps; the
BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL
in
MINNESOTA in DECADES, INVOLVING
the
’HIGHEST LEVEL’, LOCAL
and
COUNTY PUBLIC OFFICIALS
in
MINNE$OTA’$ WEALTHIE$T COUNTY
that also involves the
MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL,
KEITH ELLISON
and
MINNESOTA GOVERNOR, TIM WALZ !!
It is the media's RESPONSIBILITYto REPORT what
people SHOULD, NEED, MIGHT LIKE or WANT to know;
NOTtoARBITRARILY DECIDEthe CONTENT
that their listeners, viewers & readers have access to !!
That, folks; is CENSORSHIP,BY THE MEDIA;
in its TRUESTand UGLIEST FORM !!
(Mr. Taylor ALSOFAILED TO RESPOND, or even ACKNOWLEDGE;
my November 16, 2023 letter to him; a complete copy
of which is also included with my book !!)
The other question that "BEGS TO BE ANSWERED", of course; is
"WHY is (former Walz Commissioner) Grove's 'ALLEGIANCE'
to his 'FORMER BOSS', INSTEAD of to the READERSof his NEWSPAPERwhere HE NOW WORKS ??"
The 'Issues' Plaguing
PUBLIC OFFICIALSInCARVER COUNTY
Are NOT New !!
Here Are A Couple OfEXCERPTSFrom A Letter That I Received
WHILE I WAS A HAMBURG CITY COUNCILMEMBER
From
MARSHALL H. TANICK, ATTORNEY AT LAW
A Top Rated Employment & Labor Law Attorney,
An Author, As Well As A Lecturer:
"WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE MINNESOTA SUNSHINE LAWS".
"CLOSING PUBLIC MEETINGS, AS THE CITY HAS DONE AND CONTINUES TO DO, MAY CONTRIBUTE TO A COVER-UP OF WRONGDOING AND CONSTITUTES A GRIEVOUS VIOLATION OF THE 'SUNSHINE' LAWS."
"THE RESIDENTS OF HAMBURG, AS TAXPAYERS, HAVE A RIGHT TO HEAR ABOUT THESE CONCERNS. YOUR WEBSITE IS AN APPROPRIATE MEANS OF PROVIDING INFORMATION TO HAMBURG CITY RESIDENTS ABOUT WHAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THEIR CITY, HOW THEIR TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT
AND WHAT CITY OFFICIALS ARE DOING."
"WE HAVE ONE SET OF LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY AND THEY APPLY TO EVERYONE."
JACK SMITH; DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SPECIAL COUNCILAppointed ByU.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL MERRIK GARLANDTo Investigate Alleged CRIMINALActs Of Former President Trump.
"PUBLIC CORRUPTION: THE FBI's TOP CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIVE PRIORITYBECAUSE IT
POSES A FUNDAMENTAL THREAT TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY & WAY OF LIFE."
MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ was ABSOLUTELY WRONG for not calling a 'Special' Session' of the Minnesota Legislature to RESOLVE the VERY VALID ISSUES & CONCERNS raised by POLICE & SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENTS in Minnesota regarding the new, 'nebulous law' that severely limits/restricts SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS in the performance of their duties. MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEFS and COUNTY SHERIFF'S are JUSTIFIED in 'pulling' their well trained and professional SRO's from schools in Minnesota.
It's time for GOVERNOR WALZ, the other elected PUBLIC OFFICIALS 'in St. Paul' and MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON, you rememberHIM; the guy thatDECLARED HIS SUPPORT FOR A MINNEAPOLIS BALLOT MEASURE THAT WOULD 'DISMANTLE AND DEFUND' THE MINNEAPOLIS POLICE DEPARTMENT,('CLICK' HERE), to RECOGNIZE, and ACKNOWLEDGE that MINNESOTA POLICE CHIEFS and SHERIFF'S, and their PROFESSIONAL andDEDICATED POLICE OFFICERS and DEPUTIES working with School Administrators, are BETTER TRAINED, MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE and BETTER EQUIPPED, than 'politicians'; to make the decisions of how to deal with incidents involving students or other individuals, that pose a threat, of ANY kind, to themselves, other STUDENTS, TEACHERS, other SCHOOL STAFF and SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, themselves !!
Because someone is a former school teacher who happens to be the state's Governor, or is an attorney and happens to 'work for the state', that DOES NOT QUALIFY THEM to 'dictate' how Law Enforcement Officers can/should do their job ! Until the new 'nebulous law' is changed, ANY type of VIOLENCE, DISTURBANCE, DISRUPTION or INJURY in ANY Minnesota school, is SQUARELY 'ON THE HEADS' of WALZELLISON& their 'supporters' of this 'new law' !!
Speaking of MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEITH ELLISON, he doesn't even have the 'common decency' to respond to letters I've written to him; (and which appear in my book). Nor does MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ; as evidenced and detailed below. (It must be 'something in the water'.)

This Is NOTThe First Time That CARVER COUNTY ATTORNEY

IN CONTROVERSY.
In The Summer of 2020, Parents SUED

Their 16-Year-Old Son’s Privacy After
He Was Fatally Shot By Police In 2018.
The Family Reportedly Asked Officials NOT To Disclose The Juvenile's Name, Mental Health History Or Information
On His Death, BECAUSE
HE WAS A JUVENILE !!
As An Example Of His
ARROGANCE As Well As His INDIFFERNCE, INSENSITIVITY
And LACK OF REGARDFor
TheFAMILY'S WISHES,
CARVER COUNTY ATTORNEY MARK METZ PUBLICLY
RELEASED THE
INFORMATION
ANYWAY !!
As a DIRECT RESULT Of METZ'S
ACTIONS, The Family OfThe Juvenile Who Was KilledCOLLECTED;
"Thank you for your email inquiry seeking answers to questions from the city as opposed to seeking the production of municipal data. The city is not in possession of any data that would contain answers to your below questions. The city is unable to provide answers to your questions. The city would refer you to the county for data that may contain answers to your questions. Thank you for your inquiry."
NO SURPRISE THERE !! Is the City is trying to 'hide something' ? AGAIN ?? Above is just
TO: Hamburg City Clerk/Treasurer Jeremy Gruenhagen
SUBJECT: Vandalism - Bi-Centennial Park
1. I am still awaiting your 'Yes or No' answer to my numerous inquiries as to whether or not you told a City resident that the vandalism to the tree(s) in Bi-Centennial Park, believed to have been caused by means of a 'claw' hammer on or about July 31, 2018; was caused by the son of Hamburg Mayor Christopher M. Lund.
2. It is my understanding that additional vandalism occurred to various buildings at Bi-Centennial Park on or about July 31, 2018, and that said acts of vandalism were believed to have been caused by means of a 'claw' hammer.
Who was/were the perpetrator(s) of said vandalism to those various City buildings and what criminal action was taken/authorized by the City against the perpetrator(s) for their act of vandalism of City property ?
3. Regarding the FELONY LEVEL of vandalism, amounting to approximately $1,400.00; of the City sign at Bi-Centennial Park on or about May 26, 2020, who was/were the perpetrator(s) of said vandalism and what criminal action was taken/authorized by the City against the perpetrator(s) for their act of vandalism of City property ?
4. It also is my understanding that damage to a locking door handle at the Hamburg Community Hall/City Shops occurred on or about October 2, 2017 and that the City sustained the loss (theft) of certain items as a result. If 'forced entry' occurred, as one would believe to have taken place; I, personally; would classify that action as a burglary.
Who was/were the perpetrator(s) of said burglary, what items were stolen, what is the total value of all items stolen, what is/was the cost of repair/replacement of the locking door handle that was damaged and what criminal action was taken/authorized by the City against the perpetrator(s) for their acts of vandalism, apparent burglary and theft of items from the City owned building ?
5. The Carver County Sheriff's Office has NO REPORT of any acts of vandalism having taken place at the Service Memorial in Bi-Centennial Park.
It is common knowledge that juveniles have been seen climbing on, and vandalizing the statues. In fact, the rifles of one of the statues had the barrel of a gun held by one of the statues, literally 'broken off'.
Why wasn't a formal report of vandalism made to the Carver County Sheriff's Office for this act of vandalism of City property, who was/were the perpetrator(s) of said vandalism and what criminal action was taken/authorized by the City against the perpetrator(s) for their act of vandalism ?
In any of the incidents described above, was any form of restitution received by the City and if so, how much restitution was received by the City, and from whom was the restitution received ?
With the exception of item (1) above, did ANY of the other incidents described above; involve the children of ANY of the ELECTED PUBLIC OFFICIALS of the CITY OF HAMBURG ?
The appropriate completed 'Request For Information' forms, as required by the City of Hamburg; are attached with this e-mail request for PUBLIC information.
I await your response and caution you to receive, consider and respond to these inquiries with the same degree of seriousness with which the inquiries are sent.
ANY ATTEMPT to 'STONEWALL' the providing of the information requested herein, as has taken place so many times in the past and as recently as January 26, 2024 and January 29, 2024, would NOT be in the best interests of the City of Hamburg or its PUBLIC OFFICIALS, is NOT ACCEPTABLE and will be dealt with SWIFTLY, HARSHLY and DIRECTLY.
