FUNDRAISING TROUBLE FOR THE DFL IN RIVER CITY?

"The new state DFL chair, Brian Melendez (a Jay Benanav contributor back in 2001) sent out a fundraising letter this summer for the 'St. Paul Coordinated Campaign.' It vowed to 'take back our capital city.' The party, by the way, endorsed Coleman in April.

But check the state DFL's Web site, at www.dfl.org. The thermometer-type money gauge the party has on its home page [see picture above] has been stuck at a tepid $6,215 for more than a week now. Hmmm. That seems more like BUS FARE back to the capital city." Source: City Hall Scoop, August 6, 2005
