FROM STAR TRIBUNE: “FRANKEN HAS BEEN TIDYING UP A LITTLE MESS OF HIS OWN”
By Michael B. Brodkorb | March 26, 2008
"Mayor Coleman got in his own shots at the senator whose name he shares and who once led St. Paul. 'I have a little experience cleaning up after a guy named Norm Coleman,' Chris Coleman said, turning to Franken. 'You've got a big mess to clean up.'
Franken has been tidying up a little mess of his own. Word came Tuesday that he has paid an additional $832 in penalties to New York state for failing to provide disability benefits for employees of his private corporation. Earlier, Franken was found to owe a $25,000 penalty for failing to provide workers' compensation to employees of Alan Franken Inc. for two years. On Tuesday, Minnesota Republican Party officials released documents showing Franken quietly paid the additional $832 in fines related to disability coverage earlier this month.
In an interview after Tuesday's speech, Franken said that he still has not received an explanation from his accountant on how the lapse occurred and that he's not sure that it had.
New York state entered a judgment for $25,000 against Franken in 2007 after it was unable to locate him to pay the penalty. Franken said that the checks issued on March 6 have brought him up to date and that a conference call is scheduled with his accountant 'in the next week or two.'" Source: Star Tribune, March 25, 2008

Yeah, Nick Coleman is busy driving the St. Paul economy in to the tank. How embarrassing to be a Democrat mayer in a city undergoing a revival. His first priority was to work with liberals on the City Council to bring the city back to the level of criminal, economic and moral decay that characterizes all major cities run by Democrats.

… Uh, I mean Chris Coleman. His lazy, retarded brother nick is head cheerleader for the same initiatives for the Strib.
My error.

Mpls and St. Paul are our very own experiment in liberalism 101.
Are you suggesting that the high crime, failing schools, business leaving in droves and now property taxes coming up to what they should have been in the first place are not indicators of success?
Chris and Nick make me sick, their whole family has been stealing from the state for decades starting with that hack piece of shit father of theirs. Apparently he was too rough on the boys and now they are flaming liberals.

Perhaps Mayor Chris Coleman might explain his inclusion in the short list of supporters of the “breifly paroled Kathleen Ann Soliah/Sara Jane Olson-Peterson
