Champlin City Council · Organization ·
“Councilmember Huttner introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: Resolution No. 2026-12 to display the old state flag (1983) on city property.”
Tim Huttner ·
“It's not a Democratic flag, it's not a liberal flag. It's the official state flag of Minnesota… we should adopt the actual official flag of Minnesota.”
Jon Newcomb ·
“That flag was forced upon the people of this state by a communist trifecta in our state house.”
Everett Jasmer ·
“I am disappointed that the Legislature took the approach that… didn't put this to the Legislature, didn't put it to the people, and kept it to a committee of whether it's 11 or 12 ... calling the process poorly designed.”
Tim LaCroix ·
“I've received calls from residents and questions since then ... explaining that this was the first time the issue had come before the council for formal discussion.”
