Seven Vying for Roseville City Council
Crowded field comes as two incumbents decide not to seek re-election.
On the last day of filing Tuesday, four more candidates threw their hats into the ring, swelling the field to seven contestants vying for election to the Roseville City Council.
Seeking election to two four-year terms are: Peter Strohmeier, Gerry McDonald, Jason Etten, Liane Gale, Bill Hoffman, Lisa Laliberte and Karen Schaffer.
Incumbent Council members Jeff Johnson and Tammy Pust decided not to seek re-election. Their decision means the five-member couuncil will have two new members starting in 2013.
During the next week, Roseville Patch will be posting stories on each of the candidates, giving readers an insight into who they are and why they are running for Council.

I read about the increase in property taxes for park improvements and the fire hall.
earI don't see why the ball fields have to be improved or any more being added when the ones that we have now are not all used. I hear that most of the softball teams that used to play in Roseville left for other recreation areas because the cost to play in Roseville was too high

I was at the council meeting where the council was deciding on what marriage is.
They could not figure it out so they agreed to go against the marriage ammendment and hope the homosexual activists can dictate new definitions for all Minnesotan's.
Tammy Pust was the 1st to speak out. She said in decisions such as this she turns to the United nations declaration that man has given us our freedoms. If she did not feel threatened by our own declaration of Independence and 1st ammendment rights she would have found that God has given us our rights and if God has given them man cannot take them away. That is what our founders believe & what Tammy & this current council has forgotten. Time to vote in all new members. It sounds like Lisa Laliberte has a respect for this country and common sense in her thinking.
