STAR TRIBUNE: “2ND SENATE CANDIDATE FAILED TO INSURE STAFF FOR WORKERS’ COMP”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 6, 2008
"Another DFL Senate candidate was caught in a workers' compensation bind Thursday, as the campaign manager for Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer acknowledged that the campaign has failed to insure its employed staff members since late last year.
The news came as Al Franken's corporation agreed Thursday to pay a $25,000 penalty to New York state for failing to carry workers' comp insurance from 2002 to 2005.
The campaign said the accountant for Alan Franken Inc. will continue to investigate why the lapse occurred.
'We decided to make the payment and the accountant can deal with the files,' which promises to be a complicated and detailed process, said Jess McIntosh, a spokeswoman for the Franken campaign." Source: Star Tribune, March 6, 2008

But what about Jim Ramstad, Mark Kennedy and John Kline? They were all mentioned in the article.

Zack,
Third District Representative Jim Ramstad was mentioned in the StarTribune article. Insofar as I’m concerned he could have also been mentioned here on MDE.
Ramstad has moderate leanings. He has a solid reputation and a lot of people in the very large middle [on both sides of the aisle] respect him for that.
