| As regular readers know, I've been following the sordid story of the GOP Endorsed Eden Prairie Mayor, Phil Young. And - NOT to my surprise - local GOPers have been defending fellow GOPer Phil Young for falsifying reimbursement forms by filling out for meetings he never attended. Make no mistake, Young - in his interview with Police - admitted he knew when he filled out the forms what he was putting down was not true.
The local GOPers defending GOPer Young include GOP State Rep Jenifer Loon's Campaign Manager (Gary Stevens) and a GOP SD42 Vice Chair (Kevin Schultz). Schultz claimed he was speaking only for himself; yeah - "right."
Yet yesterday, FEC Tony (GOP Chair Tony Sutton) and his side-kick MudSlingerMike (GOP Deputy Chair Michael Brodkorb) took a cheap shot (hey, they're GOPers; whaddya expect?) at State Auditor Rebecca Otto.
Which, of course, is "Today's Example Of GOPers Care About Protecting Public Funds (Except When They Don't)"
So I'll be talking with Rebecca Otto today on Quick On The Uptake - I'm sitting in for Host Mike McIntee!
Now, State Auditor Otto probably can't say much; as required by state law her office was notified early on about GOPer Young dippin' into the ol' Taxpayer Till. But I'm sure she'll have plenty to say about the cheap shot the GOPers took at her!
I'll also be talking with John Van Hecke from MN2020.org about a report from economic policy fellow Lee Egerstrom that looks at how Northern European countries have heavily influenced the Minnesota economy and its social safety net systems; fellow blogger Dave Mindeman, and State Rep Frank Hornstein, who just got back from the Gulf - we'll talk about how the BP Oil Spill and how it might affect Minnesota's migratory birds.
The call-in number is 952-946-6205 to join in the conversation!
So tune in your radio today to AM-950 KTNF, or listen live on your computer, here!
