On February 4, 2010, attorney Erick Kaardal gave a one-half hour presentation to the Northern County Land Use Coordinating Board at their regularly-scheduled meeting in Northome, Minnesota.

The Northern County Land Use Coordinating Board consists of Commissioners from Aikin, Cook, Koochiching, Lake, Lake of the Woods, Roseau and St. Louis Counties.  The represented counties finance the Northern County Land Use Coordinating Board.

Attorney Erick Kaardal comments, "I was very thankful to have the opportunity to speak about neopopulism to the Northern County Land Use Coordinating Board.  In the first instance, I was surprised at the umbrage they took when I introduced myself as a 'Minneapolis attorney.'  I quickly changed my stance that I was an attorney from one of the Southern Counties. The Northern County Commissioners seemed to like that better.  The Commissioners were very interested in neopopulism -- particularly the idea that avoiding bureaucratic mediocrity requires more people, more involvement and more democracy.  All in all, I was impressed by the Board and its interest in neopopulism."
