After months of wondering, speculating — and writing letters to ask — why Kathy Cargill was buying up so many properties on Duluth’s Park Point, the city’s mayor and residents may have an answer from the apparently peeved member of the billionaire Cargill family.
She told the Wall Street Journal she was planning to beautify and modernize the neighborhood, but the pushback, including a message from Mayor Roger Reinert, has made her change her mind.
“I think an expression that we all know — don’t pee in your Cheerios — well, he kind of peed in his Cheerios right there, and definitely I’m not going to do anything to benefit that community,” Cargill said in an interview with the publication.
Good thing she had such concern and respect for the neighborhood to leave all of them in the dark and then reference some unknown and unannounced grand vision she probably came up with last minute to play the “poor me” card to the NYT.
Take a hike, Kathy.
