BP: Northern Minnesota council member steps down following fight at City Hall

THIEF RIVER FALLS -- One of the Thief River Falls City Council members involved in last week’s fight with other civic leaders at City Hall has resigned.

Josh Hagen, who said his health has suffered in recent months and has to walk with a cane, spoke briefly Tuesday, July 17, at the council’s meeting before saying he would resign effective immediately. His departure comes a week after an argument during a committee meeting led to a physical altercation involving punches and a chair.
