WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT DAYTON RECORDS PART 2
By Luke Hellier | August 31, 2010
Earlier today I posted on MDE about what we know about Mark Dayton’s public records. A key point is the following:
2. At yesterday’s press conference Dayton was asked about the records and he said they were sealed when the records show they were unsealed in April 2000.
2a. Update: I received the following update from Dayton’s spokeswoman about Dayton’s comments:
Mark hadn’t looked at his divorce papers in 10 years, and had forgotten they are no longer sealed. The court documents showing everything is unsealed are correct.
Thanks,
Katie
What’s key is that Dayton and his campaign now agree that the records are unsealed. So when will Mark Dayton release the full public record including the two missing sworn statements from his ex-wife?

What’s key here is that as the website has rather conclusively shown, Mark Dayton is not in possession of the documents he is being asked for. Luke

With Emmer’s support peaked and dwindling, this is the kind of crap they’ll have to resort to. Don’t expect any better from Dayton, who’s lost 11 percent of his support from just one month ago.

If Emmer had any balls at all, he’d 1) publish a detailed budget; and 2) beat the living hell out of Mark Dayton with the Dayton’s message by:
1) Articulating the truth about this “fair share’ bullshit (hint: the wealty pay thiers and everyone else’s fair share);
2) Ask Dayton what’s moral or fair about forcibily taking more from a minority of taxpayers to compensate for the purchasing choices made by others
3) Ask why no part of Dayton’s plan provides tax relief for the middle class if he’s so damned concerned about the tax burden on the middle class.
4) Remind Minnesotans that if they’re unsatisfied with their local property taxes, they have an obligation to hold their local officals accountable — Cuts to LGA subsidies didn’t require increases at any local level
5) Demand a specific plan from Mark Dayton on how he plans to improve the state’s economic environment… since nothing in his plan addresses the current or future needs of the state.
At this point in time, Emmer’s campaign and candidacy is a complete cluster fuck…
He’s running against Mark Dayton, a weak-ass candidate whose agenda has nothing to do with the concerns of most Minnesotans… just a regurgitation of the same tired, dishonest crap that every DFLer for the past 20 years has regurgitated.

Dayton’s “comprehensive jobs” plan has enlighting bullshit like this:
“Governor Pawlenty’s recent veto of “shovel ready” projects in the 2010 Bonding Bill
callously eliminated 400,000 work hours.”
400,000 work hours is 192 jobs, assuming a 40 hour work week and 52 weeks in a year. 192 jobs. Big fucking deal.
Then the goofy bastard says: “Next January, I will give those projects top priority in my expanded 2011 Bonding Bill, to which I will add other needed construction projects that will put thousands of men and women in our building trades
back to work throughout Minnesota.”
The provisions Pawlenty cut, which Dayton now wants, were comprised of nonsensicle bullshit like a volleyball court in Mankato. 192 jobs… and he thinks spending on them now will “put thousands of men and women” to work?
What a dumb-ass. Depend on Mark Dayton to exhibit no judgement when spending money taken from current and future taxpayers.

BTW: 192 jobs… that require government to extract cash from the private sector… and 192 jobs that do nothing to create wealth.

Hector,
Mark Dayton may not be in possession of the records, but his attorney would surely have a copy. Maybe Dayton should instruct his attorney to release the records.

I don’t quite follow the logic here. If the records are public, how could Dayton or his attorney have the only copies? Doesn’t law require the court to keep a copy?
