The key her is SHE AUTHORED legislation, then voted on it, then made money based on her vote. I'm sick and tired of political gamesmanship and I don't care if she made $10, $10,000 or $100,000. Obviously rules mean nothing to her. I would like to give her a list of my investments and a list of laws to author that would help me out a bit. If she can do it we should all be able to. Makes me sick. One more crooked politician. The key her is SHE AUTHORED legislation, then voted on it, then made money based on her vote.

My thoughts: She only disagreed with Haas on one major issue--Northstar (because she has a financial interest). She spends $90K of her own money because she knows she'll see the return (by the way, who else is in Duddy?). She can't vote for Northstar due her "moral dilemma" (her words) but it has no problem passing. Then the political hot potato comes up that will cost her votes--the Twins stadium--and she grows a conscience. The simple question that needs to be posed to her is "Why a moral dilemma when you are going to make money on Northstar but not the Twins?" Oh--I'm also sick and tired of people comparing a fourth generation farmer voting on ethanol with a financially independent person who spends $90K for a $40k/year job!!

Foolish lie. How much of her investment was sold just prior to the vote? DittRICH's have a load of cash. $20k is a weekend in the Hamptons for them.

In closely held limited partnerships, it is very common for the 99% limited partners to be family memembers or trusts for the benefit of family members. You should try and find out who the limiteds are. Normally, a general partner in a limited partnership has a 1% interest, with limited partners holding the other 99%.

Sound fair enough? :grin: So, if this turns out to be dismissed, I’ll buy Ron Carey and Jeff Johnson a dilly bar each and present it to them on the steps of the Capital Building.
