Judge Bumped From OID Fallowing Lawsuit

Board member Gary Osmundson, sued along with the Oakdale Irrigation District, had a judge removed from the case after the judge sided against the district in a pretrial ruling.

In other action related to the lawsuit on OID’s stalled fallow-for-money program:

  • The board majority voted Tuesday to alter legal action against two of its own members, at least one of whom is the target of a leak investigation.
  • In an unusual move, the board publicly released a confidential memo that answers some nagging questions about the fallowing program.
