Brooklyn Park City Council extends censure of embattled member seeking re-election

The Brooklyn Park City Council has extended its censure of Council Member Boyd Morson in response to claims that he continues to disrespect staff and display inappropriate behavior online.

The council at its meeting last week declined to remove the censure, Morson’s second in the past couple years, which was put in place this spring after a staff member filed a complaint. Fellow council members say Morson, who is seeking reelection on Nov. 5, violated city code, citing concerns that he has posted disparaging messages on social media criticizing the city manager and council members, including calling a fellow member “corrupt.”

Council members first censured Morson in 2022 after a staff member reported that he sexually harassed her.

Morson on Tuesday said that his fellow council members were unfairly targeting him and pushing a “personal, political agenda.”
