Lutsen township appoints treasurer

The township of Lutsen has a treasurer once again.

Long-time treasurer John Groth did not run for reelection in the March 12 township election. No candidates filed to run for the treasurer position, so citizens had the option of submitting a write-in vote.

There were a number of write-in votes for the position, however the person with the most votes—Carl Friesner—was a candidate for supervisor. Friesner won the supervisor seat.

The person with the next highest write-in votes was Paul Goettl.

At a special meeting on March 27, the Lutsen Town Board appointed Goettl to serve as treasurer until the next election.

The next Lutsen Town Meeting is Tuesday, April 16.
