Thanks to Lynne Dahl-Fleming for the update on the Monitcello lawsuit. You can always get updates on the Monticello Fiber web site.

Here’s the update – with an added update to report that TDS did post the bond by Friday’s deadline of June 20:

A court date of Friday, June 13 was set for a Motion hearing with the Honorable Judge Jonathan Jasper at Wright County Court in response to the recent lawsuit filed by Bridgewater Telephone Company Inc./TDS Telecom against the City of Monticello. At this Hearing the judge ruled that TDS is required to post a surety bond in the amount of $2.5 Million dollars within 7 days. If they fail to post the bond within the time allowed, the case will be dismissed with prejudice. In the event that the bond is posted, a court date has been set for Friday, July 18 at 9 a.m. so that a judge can rule on the City’s Motion to Dismiss the case.
