FROM STAR TRIBUNE: FRANKEN WAS REPEATEDLY NOTIFIED BY STATE OF NEW YORK THAT HE NEEDED TO PAY WORKERS’ COMP

By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 5, 2008

"The Workers' Compensation Board began sending Franken notices in April 2005 after discovering that the insurance hadn't been paid for nearly three years.

Officials first sought an explanation. Receiving no response, they sent a penalty notice to Franken in June 2005 that outlined rights to appeal.

The state then turned to a collection agency to reach Franken. When that didn't work, the state tried again in July 2006. Penalty statements were sent in August and December of 2006 and March 2007, Keegan said.

The judgment was finally entered against Franken in May 2007, and another notice sent by certified mail to his Manhattan apartment. Since then, Keegan said, three more statements have been sent — the most recent in January — without response.

The Frankens bought a townhouse in Minneapolis in April 2005. Barr said that the corporation relocated to Minneapolis in January 2006." Source: Star Tribune, March 4, 2008

    ROFLMAO!!!

    From Wikipedia:

    The Al Franken Show
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Al Franken Show was the flagship talk show of Air America Radio. Hosted by Al Franken, it featured commentary and interviews arguing for liberal positions on the issues of the day, and comedy poking fun at conservatives. The show premiered as The O’Franken Factor on March 31, 2004. Between January 3, 2006, and February 14, 2007, the show was recorded and broadcast from the 28th floor of the historic Foshay Tower in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Prior to that date it was based in New York City. The final show was broadcast on February 14, 2007.

    What a lousy “Collection Agency” – how hard was it to find Al, when he was behind a mic every weekday??!?
