JAMESTOWN, N.D. (AP) - Residents of Stutsman County will get to vote in June on whether the state’s attorney should be appointed instead of elected.
KQDJ radio reports that Stutsman County commissioners during a recent meeting discussed the ballot language regarding the county position. Stutsman County Auditor Casey Bradley says current State’s Attorney Fritz Fremgen refrained from giving his opinion on the change. Bradley says the commission has run the ballot language by several other commissions.
An investigation by an outside agency last year found that Fremgen likely violated the county’s harassment policy by creating a hostile work environment, but it found no evidence of criminal activity. The county could not fire Fremgen because he was elected, but commissioners instructed him to receive coaching by the Village Business Institute of Fargo.
