John Muhlfeld - Whitefish Real Estate News

Well The Headlines of the Daily Interlake TODAY smells quite fishy.

Now we SEE for SURE why John Muhlfeld was bent on getting into the Whitefish City Council.

He has pushed a law through that will ensure he makes HUGE amounts of Money.

Even if JOHN and the River Design Group does not get the job of “site work”, which they will, but if not they would still benefit from the job going to friends of theirs and if the property owner has a choice it will have to be John Muhlfeld of the River Design Group, he has experience in GETTING paperwork through government officials, he is on the City Council and his FiancĂ© is a Realtor – Win Win.

The article said that it is unknown how much money whitefish property owners will have to spend before they can build.

To me this says that the flood gates of MONEY have opened up to Muhlfeld’s kind of work. And he directly benefits from the law.

Yes some developers in Whitefish have abused the waterways, built to close, and cut down trees along whitefish lake. They were given tiny fines and now every landowner must pay. Follow the Money folks.

I say to you Whitefish Real Estate Owners that YOU are being manipulated so that John Muhfeld can get rich and that you should take your development dollars elsewhere. This is not about protecting the waters. I have a whole lot of paperwork on the Grave Creek Project in Eureka Montana and what John Muhlfeld Designed ripped out every year and he did not care. The worse job he did the more he got paid to come back and fix it.

John Muhlfeld admitted, with several people present that he had already chose who would do the ground work on the project. These folks were friends of his, and therefore, the public notice and trainings for the locals were just protocol.

John Muhlfeld is not to be trusted. He acts righteous, like he wants to protect the waterways and it is NOT True. John Muhlfeld is out for a long term pay check. And NOT for what is best for water and fisheries. I mean wasn’t’ gas being dumped into the Whitefish River, how long did that take to clear up. The gas station is allowed on the river banks but houses are not.

Take a look at his past work, he never has cared about the rights of property owners.

He works for the government and will do as he pleases. He brings dogs onto your property when specifically asked not to. He has no regard to property rights and he is NOT good at his job. Is this Defamation ? Folks, get every single document from every single job he has done. Under the Freedom of information act you can demand copies of this paperwork. And when you read it all you will see that John’s work is not quality and is all about creating high paying jobs for himself and his friends and now he will have an inside connection and quite possibly his Realtor fiancĂ© will make lots of money on Whitefish Waterfront Real Estate.

Open your Eyes Folks, Today’s Headlines is all about River Design Group and John Muhlfeld making MONEY.

I do believe waterways SHOULD be protected, but anything with Muhlfeld’s name on it is suspect of corruption, lies, greedy, faulty work and trampling of landowners rights.

Muhlfeld Wins.

Muhlfeld WINS.

I get it now, I did not know who the girlfriend was. Now I do, with the Realtors
behind John, there is no way to lose.


The Realtors have a lot of money and political power and they get their way, what ever it may be that they want. You Lose.

Whitefish apparently thinks that John Muhlfeld is the most forthright person on the council. If this is true than Whitefish is in serious trouble. John has ruined peoples lives, run over property rights, and makes VERY bad decisions that spends millions of dollars of tax payers money. Do your homework folks.
Did whitefish Vote for him because of who they THOUGHT he was. Its Not True. He is VERY far from a being a Man of Integrity and should hold no role in politics. With his political connection, he can’t miss. He has been handed jobs since college and life is just falling in his lap. If Muhlfeld is making decisions that effect you, find out all you can, prove everything he claims.

Most don’t believe me and will find out the hard way. I don’t live in Whitefish though I was born there, I do live I Northwest Montana and I do know John’s work Ethics. I know John cheats the system, hires who he thinks is best with out public forum, is aggressive and disrespecting of private land owners and has NO Clue as to what he is doing professionally. If you don’t believe it, walk up Grave Creek today, the Mess it Now is, that’s John’s Handiwork.

Get the Facts Folks, don’t blindly follow who you think knows best for you. Find out for your self.

Muhlfeld’s Residency Questioned

Muhlfeld’s Residency Questioned

By LYNNETTE HINTZE/Daily Inter Lake

A Kalispell law firm representing Common Sense in Whitefish Government and its founder, Rick Blake, has asked newly elected Whitefish City Council member John Muhlfeld to show proof of his city residency prior to the election.

A letter sent to Muhlfeld on Wednesday by attorney Duncan Scott said his clients “have expressed concern” that he was not an eligible council candidate for the Nov. 6 election because he allegedly was living at his fiancee’s home in the Northwoods subdivision outside city limits.

State law says a person is not eligible to be a city-council member unless he or she is a resident for at least 60 days preceding the election.

Duncan said his clients have information that Muhlfeld leased his home on Somers Avenue to a third party prior to the 60 days preceding the election.

“We would welcome any information or facts that you can provide to show that you were a resident of Whitefish as state election law requires,” Duncan wrote in the letter to Muhlfeld.

Duncan asked Muhlfeld to respond by Jan. 2, since the swearing-in ceremony for new council members is scheduled Jan. 7.

MUHLFELD did not return phone calls from the Daily Inter Lake, but in an interview in October, prior to the election, he said he consulted with Whitefish City Attorney John Phelps and was advised he was a legal candidate.

He became engaged to Stephanie Sunshine this summer, and while he said he spends some nights at her home in Northwoods, he said he also spends time at his Somers Avenue home.

“I’m not living at her house,” he said prior to the election. “I have roommates and retain a room [for myself] and am frequently at my home.”

Muhlfeld said he and his fiancee intend to live at the Somers Avenue home once they’re married.

“What I do with my personal time and my fiancee should have no bearing on the election,” he said in October.

Phelps said state law for determining residency is somewhat vague and tends to favor the office-holder. It states that a person “does not lose residence if the individual goes into another state or other district of this state for temporary purposes with the intention of returning.”

“I remain confident he was a lawful candidate and was lawfully elected,” Phelps said Thursday.

During an interview in October, Phelps said Muhlfeld told him he had given notice to his roommates to move out of the home, and that he intended to reside at the Somers Avenue house.

“It was clear he wasn’t going to take a chance,” Phelps said.

MOONLIGHTING Detective Agency of Kalispell recently was hired to investigate Muhlfeld’s residency. Ike Eisentraut, a detective with that agency, interviewed Inter Lake reporter Lynnette Hintze a couple of weeks ago as part of that investigation.

Phelps said he believes the recent turn of events is “the influence of money in small-town politics.”

In a letter published in the Nov. 1 Whitefish Pilot, Blake said he formed Common Sense in Whitefish Government “in order to encourage others to vote” for Mike Jenson for mayor and council candidates Turner Askew, Martin McGrew, John Murdock and Kent Taylor. Blake said he was concerned about the leadership and direction of the current council.

Blake could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

Muhlfeld, a hydrologist with River Design Group, was appointed to the council in 2006 to fill the seat vacated by Tom Muri. He was one of the top vote-getters in the Nov. 6 election. Ryan Friel also was elected.

A third council seat ended in a tie vote between Turner Askew and Martin McGrew. The newly seated council is expected to pick a winner on Jan. 7.
