Fargo mayor distances himself from Bloomberg's gun control group ( ND )

A pro-gun control group of mayors started by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has scheduled an event in Fargo on Monday, but Bloomberg himself is not expected to attend.

Neither is Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker, who said he’s gotten nothing but flak from the tri-state area since announcing his membership in Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns group years ago.

“I’ve never resigned, but I’m not an active member either. So I don’t plan on attending,” Walaker said, adding that he hadn’t heard of the event until he was contacted by a reporter.

Walaker is the only North Dakota mayor in Bloomberg’s coalition, according to the group’s official website

It is short-sighted for a North Dakota politician to be anti-gun.

I hope North Dakotans will make him the former mayor PDQ.

I notice the writer did not include the mayor’s party affiliation. Golly.

Wallaker is known as the Public Works guy who regularly saved Fargo from major flooding. He has the reputation of a technocrat, not a politico. He runs a good city. His flirtation with the anti-gun left causes him trouble, though.

If he hasn’t resigned, he’s a member. If he’s a member he’s a gun grabber and someone who wants to take away your rights.
