Steve Gander will replace Stauss as EGF mayor.

Lynn Stauss, along with his con artist brother Dan Stauss, and a band of local gypsies including EGF city attorney Ronald Galstad, was exposed after a secret society theft ring stole over one half million dollars in a scheme known as Boardwalk Enterprises.

Lynn Stauss caused great embarrassment to the small Northern Minnesota town's residents that he and the gypsies betrayed.

East Grand Forks residents recall the embarrassing spectacle Lynn Stauss made after the gypsies got busted. Lynn Stauss quickly checked himself into a hospital with a fake medical problem and told the nurse he was too sick to take phone calls from the media.

East Grand Forks and Polk County, Minnesota is widely known for Valley News Live media investigations into ritualistic abuse of prisoners at the local police department and mysterious unsolved deaths.

Gander has expressed a love for the community.
