WABASHA In a 5-0 vote, the Wabasha County Board of Commissioners voted to offer the job of county administrator to Michael Plante during a re-convened meeting of the board Wednesday night.
Plante, who had worked as county administrator in Wabasha County previously, had left the job in 2019 for a city manager position in Prior Lake, Minn. That job ended after six months when the Prior Lake City Council let him go after he was charged with – and eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of – domestic assault. For the past year, Plante has been the city manager of West Concord.

There are currently three locations in Prior Lake to purchase e-cigarette products and the approval of a tobacco and e-cigarette retail license by the city council will shortly make that four.
But the sale of flavored e-cigarette products at the new retail location and convenience stores may be short lived as city staff have temporarily halted further applications and are in the process of drafting an ordinance that could potentially ban the sale of flavored e-cigarette products within Prior Lake entirely.
