Supervisor Carter Refuses to Respond

Fish Lake Township Supervisor Robert “Bob” Carter has refused to respond despite repeated attempts by the Fish Lake Karpa to obtain his input and comments on the following questions:

1.) Can you provide more details regarding the alleged criminal complaint against you (i.e. Chisago County case #09004652)?

2.) Have you been in contact with the Chisago County Sheriff’s department and/or the County Attorney’s office regarding the alleged criminal complaint against you?

3.) If any of the criminal allegations have merit, and you are charged with a crime, how will you respond?

4.) Have you retained an attorney at this time?

5.) Can Fish Lake Township taxpayers expect to pay for your attorney and defense?

6.) What prompted your recent resignation from the Fish Lake Township Board Chair position?

7.) Under your leadership, the Fish Lake Township official web site was recently reconstructed. Why were all official meeting minutes prior to 2008 cleansed from the web site?

8.) Do you have any further comments you would like to provide?


Supervisor Carter prides himself as a “great communicator,” and in his own words has stated, “E-mail and web sites are incredible tools for communicating and involving people.” As a public official, he is also held to a higher standard of public trust and personal integrity.

Why won’t Supervisor Carter answer the Karpa’s questions and provide an explanation to the public?
