Hello Sally & Katie

How thing going, did you's receive many phone calls about changing from the Maplewood Police to Washingtom Co Sheriff's service and the issue of how Flash used me as a scapegoat to time the police call and he said before the open meeting started while he was out side having a cigarette , he said that I was next to be evicted for helping Mary and I'm running for mayor so now the Washington County Elections can surely get involved with him for trying to eliminate the competition in the election by getting Me out of town.

The people out here want Lee and Donna back, any contract that Lee & Donna sign would be null and void because of this improprieties of Flash, Kevin Shoeberg, Colleen.

Because of three top people in the control of Landfall, MN internal Government controlling and "threaten" its citizens.

People were standing out side city hall as Mayor Flash "Greg Feldbrugge" heard him tell Me I was next to be EVICTED...!

All Because Of Mary.

 Now A Election Violation in Landfall, Minnesota

Three people are challenging mayor Greg Feldbrugge of Landfall in the November election -- in a time of unusual stress in the 700-population mobile-home park. In the past year the city attorney and the park manager were fired. The town voted to suspend a contract with Maplewood for police services, amid charges of racial profiling -- and then a city council member changed his mind, shifting the majority in support of the contract. Candidates have charged Feldbrugge with lying, and he has blamed the council for the city's problems. The Pioneer Press requested information for mini-profiles of mayoral candidates. One candidate whose name will be on the ballot -- Linda Lee Jacobs -- said in late September that she was dropping out of the race. Feldbrugge declined to provide information.

"Landfall City Minnesota"

Threats and Bribes in Small Town America

Hello All, we all know Bill Dahn's idea of Corruption by

Landfall City Attorney and the Landfall HRA Attorney Kevin K Shoeberg. P.A. and His Good Friend Mayor Greg Feldbrugge...!

I ma being evicted because I told Kevin Shoeberg Landfall City Attorney that He as the City Attorney has to have a "court order" or a warrant to touch those "privet files"...!

Shoeberg replied back "NO I DON"T" and he opened a cabinet and started touching them, saying Da Da Da see I can touch them and that was the end of December 2011.

I would want "Bill Dahn" out of this town just for exposing criminal act occurring in our great city if I was Shoeberg and Mayor Greg Feldbrugge for exposing them...!

At a city meeting, The Landfall City Attorney Kevin Shoeberg said about Mary Beth Mars a candidate for Landfall City Council, that if Mary Beth Mars doesn't withdraw her name for City Council that He would have her prosecuted for not being a resident of Landfall and if she did withdraw they would ok her anywhere in the City of Landfall...!

I have already contacted Washington County Election and Prosecutors office on this Election Bribe by Shoeberg and the City Council.

Landfall firings questioned

Town may be in default of its lease with Washington County.

Article by: TIM HARLOW , Star Tribune

Updated: August 20, 2012 - 11:32 PM

The town of Landfall might have violated its lease with the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) when it fired its mobile home park manager last week and appointed new management without giving proper notice.
Legal action isn't imminent, but as owners of the trailer park that sits along Interstate 94 between Oakdale and Maplewood, the HRA sent a letter of censure to the Landfall City Council and requested to see the town's financial books and meeting records.
"If we are found in violation, we could lose control of the park," Mayor Greg Feldbrugge said on Monday. "Citizens should be outraged."
Feldbrugge, the only City Council member to oppose the dismissals, said he feared that bigger trouble could lie ahead. Members will meet on Tuesday to discuss the letter, which was sent after the council fired park manager Colleen Arndt on Aug. 8 and named former Oakdale Mayor Ted Bearth as interim park manager. City Attorney Kevin Shoeberg also was served a 90-day notice that his contract would be terminated.

According to terms of the lease, which has been in effect since 1997, Landfall has responsibility for day-to-day operations of the 300-unit trailer park, including hiring park management. The arrangement also requires city officials or the Landfall Village Housing and Redevelopment Authority to get written permission from the Washington County HRA before appointing new management.
The Washington County HRA "had no prior indication that the Landfall HRA was even considering or intending to attempt such a course of action," said the letter signed by its executive director, Barbara Dacy.
In her letter, Dacy made it clear that her office was not disparaging Bearth nor had any objections to him taking over. Her concern was that Landfall did not follow procedure.
The county became involved with Landfall when the park's private owner wanted to sell. Landfall is considered an "affordable" city in Washington County because of county support.
According to language in the lease, the Washington County HRA could take over the park if Landfall is found to be in default. The letter dated Aug. 15 did not suggest that would happen, but it was sent because "the tenant did something without telling the landlord," Dacy said. "We are putting them on notice."
In the letter, Dacy requested a written description of events from the meeting where the firings occurred and all financial and management records. The letter also requested that Landfall take no further action pertaining to the management.
"They have been reasonable and cooperative," Dacy said. "The county HRA has a fiduciary responsibility to make sure stability of the park is maintained."

Bill Dahn Here with my GANG STIKE FORCE Complaint.dtd..Feb2nd,2011

Retaliation for Bill Dahn and Sharon Anderson going to court on behalf of Alice Krengel 823 Allen, of West Saint Paul,MN. July 10, 2003, www.alicekrengel.blogspot.com that day and other court appearance "we" went in good faith that West Saint Paul, MN. had a honest court system.

West St. Paul Police Chief Bud Shaver of the GANG STIKE FORCE was trying their best to intimidate Alice Krengel and anyone that was helping her fight back against threats of taking her home. After Court when I went to the Warehouse, someone called to tell me

My 1988 Chevrolet, License >> JPZ-962 light blue mobile home school bus Stolen before my eyes.

http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/billdahn/detailbus1.html Insured though Tom Stremski . Agency Inc. of

State Farm in West Saint Paul, MN. at all times on the www.billdahn.com

Bus Ticket on July 10, 2003 by Officer D. Weber Badge # 2631 ticket # 3-377606

http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/billdahn/bus.html

Bus Ticket on July 10, 2003 I was informed by Mathew Rodewald the Vs. President of the St.Paul Evangelistic Food Ministry that a tow truck and a cop was out by my Campaign Bus and it looks like they are taking it.

I and Sharon Anderson went out to see what was going on.

First the West Saint Paul Police Officer said that it was parked over 36 hrs. and I told him I just drove it last night and then he said that it was abandoned, I told him "how" could it be abandoned if I am standing here?

Then I told him that it was My Campaign Bus, then the West Saint Paul Policemen said that it was not a campaign bus. and BUDGET TOWING took it away Lothenbach St., close to Oakdale St. intersection

in West Saint Paul, Minnesota. Bill Dahn, Bus Photo One Enlarged ---Bill Dahn, Bus Photo Two Enlarged

This same Campaign Governor Tim Pawlenty was on in the fall of 2002 as I ran for Minnesota Governor's Race.

In about Nov. of 2002 Mark Dayton paid $500.00 for 6 used tires after they were flattened at the curb by a Union Hall, across the street from KSTP CH. 5 and was taken to the impound lot where it was about to be sold or scraped in 2 days, but Mark Dayton saved it by getting the tires and my bus was released without any towing fee or storage fee.

But like I said about my 1988 mobile home bus being stolen before my eyes.

I was never compensated for this Theft. I feel I have a claim against Defendants Police Chief Bud Shaver, City West St.Paul and Sheriff Fletcher and Met Council.

I was arrested and held without bail or charges in St.Paul while protesting legally, by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Deputies under Sheriff Bob Fletcher and was not given my med's for Epilepsy 500 mg. DILANTIN daily, and when I demanded them they roughed me up and shackled me while one deputy was standing on my caves, and then they dragged me down to a different cell that had blood all over the walls and floor and thrown me in on the floor.

"Thanking you in advance for your consideration"

Why are you seeking the office of Attorney General?

There is a current crisis in the legal system and the Attorney General should be in the front line keeping the legal system just for the average person. As a working man I can empathize and understand the needs of the average citizen and make sure the Office of the Attorney General shows equal care and empathy. Enough is enough when it comes to the injustices of the past 30 years.

Top three policy issues:

1. Stop Minnesota Corporations from taking advantage of illegal immigrants for cheap labor. This encourages illegal immigration. We need to encourage fair labor practices that cause the level of pay for all workers to improve internationally so that out sourcing and cheap foreign labor are not an incentive to cause Minnesotans to loose their jobs.

2. Stop fraud and illegal practices by corporations and government that harm the ordinary citizen.

3. Prosecute fraud, misconduct and other criminal conduct by public official and corporations.

Role as consumer protection advocate:

The Office of the Attorney General must protect the public safety and welfare, and additionally protect the public from corruption and fraud by government officials and bureaucracy.

Further there must be a focus on prosecuting crimes that are covered up by local city and county attorneys to keep these local officials accountable.

Priorities of responsibility to state governments, local governments and individuals:

The first and foremost responsibility is to the individual citizens of Minnesota.

City and County governments are subdivisions of the state government, however, these entities, often corporations, should not receive special protection and should not receive legal representation in cases where there is questionable conduct, discrimination, prejudice, abuse of power, or other similar abuse of public office, by any state and local officials. These entities and persons should be responsible for paying for and obtaining their own legal counsel.

Bachmann on Sean Hannity Show Crunch Time on Health Care Bill Democrat leaders have promised to force the health care bill through Congress in a matter of days, suggesting use of the so-called “nuclear option.” That trick, technically called budget reconciliation would enable the Senate to pass a House-amended version of its own already-approved health care bill, bypassing debate and thus staving off any filibuster. There’s some doubt about using reconciliation in this manner, and it’s even possible that it won’t be utilized at all. The waters around the health care reform process in Washington are murky. Senator Byrd has said, “Using reconciliation to ram through complicated, far-reaching legislation is an abuse of the budget process. The writers of the Budget Act, and I am one, never intended for its reconciliation’s expedited procedures to be used this way. These procedures were narrowly tailored for deficit reduction. They were never intended to be used to pass tax cuts, or to create new Federal regimes.” Vice President Joe Biden once characterized the “nuclear option” as an “example of the arrogance of power,” and President Obama said such a move “would change the character of the Senate forever.” But that was 2005. Now that every major poll shows overwhelming opposition to the health care reform bill being put forth by the Democrat-controlled Congress, and Republicans have swept recent special elections chiefly because of the bill, Congressional leaders are willing to resort to tricks they themselves called “dirty” to get their way. All 41 Republican senators have pledged to object to reconciliation being used in the manner proposed and Senate rules require 60 votes to waive the Byrd rule, which would squash attempts to use budget reconciliation for non-budget-related policy changes. Reconciliation is just one dirty aspect of the process being used to force health care reform. The current senate bill has a House number: HR3590, but it isn’t the House health care bill. That’s HR3200. Bills that originate in the senate have a number beginning with “S,” such as S2431. There’s a reason for this anomaly. Bills that raise revenue must, according to the Constitution, originate in the House. Senator Reid wanted to pass his own version of health care reform in the senate, though, so he hijacked an unrelated bill that the House had already passed. It was HR3590, a 6-page bill to provide tax breaks to members of the military who were buying a house. Senator Reid offered a “delete all” amendment to the bill, stripping out all of the original language and intent of the house bill and inserted the over 2,500 pages of his tax-raising health care plan. Thus, he obtained a House bill number for his Senate-originated, revenue-raising health care bill by essentially ripping the cover off of a legal bill and stapling it on to an unconstitutional bill. Pushers of the health care takeover are well aware that a supermajority of the American people are opposed to their plan, so they’ve been using every backroom dirty trick in the book and inventing some new ones to try to force this legislation against the will of the people. Payoffs, threats, smearing and ousting troublesome representatives are just some of the underhanded tactics involved. They know the votes they’ve coerced and cajoled won’t survive an Easter recess, when members of Congress will return to home districts and face their constituents, so they are desperate to pass the bill before the recess. Now is the time to be heard. It may rain (40% chance), but we are all needed at the Capitol on Saturday. This is our last chance to remind our forgetful representatives that we don’t want the Reid/Pelosi/Obama health care plan. If it does rain, all the better if we still turn out for an hour in strong numbers. That would be a true demonstration to Minnesota’s congressional delegation of our unwavering conviction in opposing the health care takeover.

Comments (0) Pawlenty Set to Sign, but Reduce $1 Billion Bonding Bill Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 3/10/2010 After an initial veto threat sent the House and Senate approved bonding bill into legislative limbo, the Governor met with Democrat leaders and began negotiations. A deal was eventually struck. The sticking point appeared to be funding the governor wants for expansions to the Moose Lake sex offender treatment facility. The legislature left that out of the bill they passed, prompting the governor’s veto threat. The bill has been referred back to a conference committee, where, the governor’s demands are being met in part, in order to stave off a veto of the entire bill. Pawlenty will likely instead use the line item veto authority to trim the bonding bill down to around $750 million, leaving in his pet projects. $47.5 million has been approved for the Moose Lake facility. The Governor’s not yet said which spending items he will cut. See the conference committee engrossment of the bonding bill here. Comments (0) House Government Operations Committee Passes Election Reform Bill Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 3/5/2010 Election Administration Bill is an Example of the Art of the Possible HF3108 is an elections administration bill aimed at strengthening the integrity of Minnesota’s election system, mostly through “back end” administrative procedures. The bill will require new verifications to be performed on voter registration records, including checks against the Social Security Administration’s lists of deceased individuals and Department of Corrections data on felony convictions. It also strengthens and better defines a required check of voter records against Department of Public Safety data to ensure non-citizens are not allowed to register to vote. The bill was approved by the House Government Operations Commitee on Thursday, March 4th. The bill will also establish new reporting requirements, so that the legislature will be regularly informed of the state of the election system and anomalies that may arise. For example, when a new voter registers, a Postal Verification Card is mailed to the voter’s registered address. If the post card is returned as undeliverable, that voter will be flagged for challenge at the next election, but lists or even counts of returned PVC cards are not routinely revealed. HF3108 will require a biennial report of returned PVC cards to the legislature. This will provide insight into how many new registrations can not be verified. The bill also cleans up some unusual data handling procedures that previously muddied the waters of the Statewide Voter Registration System, making it difficult to forensically determine exactly who voted in past elections. Toward the ends of transparency and integrity, this bill represents a good first step. More reforms will still be needed (especially a photo ID requirement), but in the committee hearing in which the bill was approved, Representative Kiffmeyer, a Republican co-author of the bill observed that politics is the art of the possible. This bill’s chief author was Representative Winkler, a Democrat and it was the product of bipartisan meetings on election issues. This is what was possible at the time. Though Several election officials attended the committee hearing, such as Ramsey County Elections Director, Joe Mansky and The Head of Elections for the secretary of state’s office, Michelle Desjardin, none testified for or against the bill. Minnesota Majority testified in favor of the bill. The bill was passed out of the House State and Local Government Operations Reform, Technology and Elections Committee on an overwhelming voice vote. There were one or muttered two “no” votes. The bill must still be approved by the whole House and by the Senate. Click here to hear an audio recording of the House committee meeting, including testimony. Take Action: Sign the Election Integrity Petition Contact your legislators and tell them to support HF3108 and SF2388 Up Next: Senator Gerlach has introduced an elections bill (SF2888) that would eliminate vouching and elimiate student IDs as acceptable forms of identification. It also creates provisions for provisional ballots so a person apearing at the polls without proper ID can still vote and have their vote counted if they provide proof of identity and residence within 10 days after the election. Gerlach's bill will have a hearing in the Senate Government Operations and Oversight Comittee on Monday, March 8th at 3:00 PM, Room 123 State Capitol. Comments (1) Open Wide - Democrats are Prepared to Ram Obamacare Down Our Throats Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 3/4/2010 Have they Forgotten? Rally Against Obamacare at Rep. McCollum's Office, Summer 2009 Congress Prepares to Go Nuclear on Health Care On Wednesday, President Obama held a press conference in which he arrogantly declared that the time for debate is over on health care 'reform'. The president surrounded himself with people in white lab coats in an attempt to legitimize his message. But in reality, it was difficult to keep track of the number of false and misleading statements the president made over the course of his speech. One fact was made crystal clear: Democrats plan to go it alone without Republican support. Now that they no longer have a 60-vote majority in the Senate, they plan to change the rules of the game and employ a parliamentary trick known as "reconciliation" or the “nuclear option.” Usually reserved for budget bills, the maneuver would allow the Senate to pass this massive bill with only 51 votes instead of the normal 60-vote super-majority required for all major legislation. This trick would require the House to pass and amend the Senate version of the health care bill, with an understanding in the senate that the House can get what it wants in the conference committee. After the conference committee, the newly re-minted bill would be submitted back to the House and Senate for a final vote. Passage would require a simple majority in each body. President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Schumer, Senator Reid, Senator Feinstein, and other Democrats claimed bypassing the 60-vote filibuster rule in the Senate would tear down the fabric of the republic and change the Senate forever. They said the suggestion by Republicans in 2005 to change the rules to stop Democrat filibustering of presidential nominees was a naked, arrogant power grab and un-American. Now that they can’t get their way playing by the rules, the “nuclear option” is seen as their noble duty. See here for a video compilation of Democrats protesting the “nuclear option” in 2005. Every major poll shows that the American people oppose ObamaCare and want Congress to start from scratch. But President Obama and his colleagues in Congress don't appear to be getting the message. See here for a detailed explanation of the health care situation and real solutions. Take Action: Send a free personalized fax to your members of Congress, demanding they oppose ObamaCare or suffer the consequences next election. Attend the Kill the Bill Rally on Saturday, March 13th Comments (5) Election Changes on the Horizon Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 3/2/2010 Three prominent elections bills are moving through the state legislature. The first bill, SF2251 will move the primary to August to allow more time for military absentee ballots to be processed. In 2008, nearly 10% of absentee ballots cast by military members serving overseas were rejected because they arrived too late to be counted. Moving the primary from September to August should provide the time needed to compensate for that travesty. The bill isn’t controversial and has already passed the House and Senate by huge margins. Only 5 representatives voted against it and it was unanimous in the Senate. The Senate bill had minor differences with the house version, that look to have been resolved by an amendment in the House. The bill will probably be presented to the governor’s office today. All indications are that he will sign it into law. The Primary election will henceforth be held on the second Tuesday in August. The second bill was passed out of the House government operations committee today by a unanimous vote. SF2622 / HF3111 is also relatively non-controversial. It codifies changes in the way absentee ballots will be handled and counted, establishing ballot boards to help ensure absentee ballots aren’t improperly rejected. The bill is likely to pass without much clamor and will likely be signed by the governor. The third bill has it’s first hearing in the House government operations committee on Thursday at 8:30 AM. SF2388 / HF3108 could produce a couple squabbles. It’s an elections administration bill that toughens up requirements for voter list maintenance and verifications, and requires biannual reports to the legislature on critical election statistics, like the number of postal verification cards returned undeliverable after an election or random sampling of registered voters. The bill also expands the scope of resources the secretary of state is mandated to utilize to verify voter records, including the federal Social Security Administration’s database of deceased people. It also provides for new checks against data maintained by the Departments of Corrections and Public Safety to flag ineligible felons and non-citizens who may have become registered to vote. Another important aspect of this elections bill is that it codifies in law certain ballot reconciliation requirements to assure that all ballots are properly accounted for. Election judges will be required to count the ballots contained in a package when they are opened to verify that the count is correct (there are typically supposed to be 50 ballots in a package, but they are often not precise). Then, when the polls close, election judges will be required to account for every ballot received in the morning, reconciling with ballots cast, spoiled, duplicated and unused so all ballots at the end of the day tie out to the number of ballots received in the morning. Minnesota Majority sued the Secretary of State’s office over the issue of reconciliation because following the 2008 election, it was found that as many as 40,000 ballots that were counted could not be accounted for in the Statewide Voter Registration System. In other words, there weren’t enough voter histories indicating people who voted in 2008 to account for all the ballots. Examining precinct-level original election documents and manually counting signatures on roster pages and absentee ballots in three Ramsey County precincts revealed that the canvassing board somehow counted more ballots in all three examined precincts than there were voters who signed in. This issue appears to be widespread. There are over 4,000 precincts in Minnesota, so it should be apparent why this reconciliation process is so important. Under former Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer, an administrative rule was in place to ensure this reconciliation. Now Representative Kiffmeyer, a co-author of the elections administration bill claims that the first thing Secretary Mark Ritchie did on assuming office was to dismantle that reconciliation process. He claimed the counties did not like it because it was too much work, to which Representative Kiffmeyer responded, “before optical scanners, election judges used to have to hand-count every ballot, and often wouldn’t be out of the polling place until after three in the morning. Doing these checks isn’t so much work and it’s vital to ensuring the integrity of our elections.” Representative Kiffmeyer makes a good point, but it’s still likely that Secretary of State Mark Ritchie will lobby and testify against this provision of the bill. UPDATE: HF3108, the election administration bill passed the House Government Operations Committee on Thursday, March 4th. A good first step toward improving confidence in our elections. Take Action: Sign the Election Integrity Petition and instantly contact your elected officials about this important issue. Already signed it? Contact your elected officials again with this link. Remind them to protect the integrity of our elections and support reconciling the number of ballots at each precinct. Comments (2) Democrats Mount GAMC Veto Override Attempt – Fails in House Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 3/2/2010 Following the governor’s veto of a bill to restore $170 million in funding to the essentially defunct General Assistance Medical Care program, Democrats in the Senate voted to override. No Republicans joined in the vote. The override attempt in the House was not successful. A 2/3 vote in the House was needed, which would have required 3 Republicans to vote for the override. None did so. The effort failed by a party-line vote of 86-47. GAMC funding is slated to run out in April, when the governor plans to move all enrollees to the less generous Minnesota Care program. Minnesota Care is more similar to the traditional private health care plans most Minnesotans utilize and costs the state’s taxpayers far less per enrollee. GAMC directly paid for 100% of all medical and dental care for the enrollee with unlimited coverage. The cost of the program has been skyrocketing, growing by 36% annually and it was clearly unsustainable. The governor did the right thing for the state of Minnesota by vetoing the attempt to resurrect the bankrupt program. To be sure, beneficiaries of the extraordinarily generous program will protest the loss of their entitlement, but the approximately 30,000 enrollees aren’t being left high and dry by any stretch. Minnesota Care will provide them the same level of insurance coverage any privately insured worker has access to. The demise of GAMC will mean one less bureaucracy for the state to maintain, and save the state money in direct payments and administration. Three additional medical assistance programs still remain. One could hope that they will eventually all be merged into one cost-effective program for even greater efficiency later. Take Action: Contact your legislators and tell them what you think of their vote. Comments (1) State Reps Speak-Out on Boondoggle Bonding Bill Jeff's Blog By Jeff Davis on 2/25/2010 Four Minnesota state reps today weighed-in on the $1 billion bonding bill. The bill was kept alive when by a legislative trick on the part of Speaker Margaret Kelliher which prevented it from going to the governor's desk. Governor Pawlenty, who earlier this week promised to veto the bill, now appears to have agreed to engage in further negotiations with DFL leaders on the bill. It is irresponsible for lawmakers to add another $1 billion of debt to Minnesota's balance sheet at a time when we cannot make the payments on our existing debt. Minnesota Majority is urging Governor Pawlenty to demonstrate fiscal responsibility by keeping his commitment to veto the bonding bill in its entirety. TAKE ACTION: Call Governor Pawlenty at 877-37-VETO-IT and urge him to keep his promise to veto the bonding bill in its entirety. Comments (2) On Bonding Bill, Some State Legislators Repent Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 2/23/2010 Some Representatives and Senators Change Bonding Bill Vote – Despite Veto Threat, Bonding Bill Not Dead Yet The governor has announced that he will veto the bonding bill in it’s entirety, but House Speaker Kelliher may have one last trick up her sleeve. She said she intends to send the bill back to the Senate for “further consideration.” This is simply a stalling tactic to buy time to pressure the governor into negotiations. After a conference committee reached agreement on the $1 billion bonding bill, reconciling minor differences between the House and Senate versions, the House took up the final bill for a vote after 7:30 last night, passing it 85-46. Eight Republicans who’d voted to pass the initial bill withdrew their support. Republican Representatives Bud Nornes (10A), Paul Anderson (13A), Greg Davids (31B), Jim Abeler (48B), Tony Cornish (24B), Tom Hackbarth (48A), Mary Liz Holberg (36A) and Torrey Westrom (11A) changed their votes on the bonding bill to no. Democrats Bill Hilty (8A) and Al Juhnke (13B) also had a change of heart, withdrawing their support for the bill. Representative Paul Kohls (34A) was home recovering from a concussion when the bonding bill first passed. When he returned to work, he added another "no" vote to repassage of the bonding bill. The Senate took up the amended bill after 9:00 PM and also passed it, but again, some Republicans changed their votes from yes to no. The final vote in the Senate was 47-19. Republican senators Bill Ingebrigtsen (11), Joe Gimse (13), Gen Olson (33), Pat Pariseau (36), Mike Jungbbauer (48), and Julie Rosen (24) changed their votes from yes to no. Democrat Tony Lourey (8) also changed his vote to no. It looks like the bonding bill debate isn’t over yet. How long Speaker Kelliher can keep the bonding bill from the governor’s awaiting veto pen is uncertain. The best case scenario for the taxpayers is no bonding bill at all, but Governor Pawlenty has indicated willingness to sign a bonding bill in the $750 million-range if it includes certain items he considers priorities, like the Moose Lake Sex Offender facility and Vermillion State Park. If legislators rework the bill toward those ends, the governor may still approve more borrowing this session. Minnesota Majority rejects the idea of any further borrowing until the deficit is solved. Until then, there isn't even money to service the debt we now have. No sane person would take a maxed out credit card they already can't afford the payments on and ask for an increase in the credit limit to borrow more. Why would we allow our state government to do so? In addition, when the deficit is solved, any bonding should only be for genuine, necessary public purpose projects. Update: Senator John Doll had been erroneously listed as having voted "yes" on repassage. This was an error and we apologize to the senator, who has in fact voted against the bonding bill three times. Click here to see all new House votes. Click here to see all new Senate votes.

Comments (2) Stop Growing the State's Debt Dan's Blog By Dan McGrath on 2/22/2010 Stop the Bonding Bill Radio Ad Minnesota Can't Afford Current Debt Payments, but Will Borrow Another $1 Billion Both the Minnesota House and the Senate have passed similar versions of a bonding bill equaling about $1 billion in general obligation bonding. In the House, Speaker Kelliher pushed the bill through without allowing debate. Right now, minor differences between the two bills are being reconciled in a conference committee. Minnesota is already in debt over $7 billion. Making the payments on that borrowed money consumes over 3% of the state’s biennial budget, and we’re running a deficit of over $1.2 billion this year, with deficits projected to be over $5.4 billion in the next biennium. This means we can’t afford to make the debt payments we are already obligated to make. Taking on more debt in a financial crisis like this, one might think the money must be for something pretty important. Some of the money is for worthy projects like improvements to public facilities, but these improvements can wait and there is absolutely no excuse for some of the appropriations. Legislators in the conference committee have decided a criminal sex offender facility in Moose Lake isn’t important enough to borrow money for this year, but they will use the taxpayer’s maxed-out credit card for: The Perpich Center for the Arts ($1.2 million) The Minnesota Zoo ($32.5 million) Amateur sports ($4 million) The Metropolitan Council ($74.5 million) The Minnesota Historical Society ($14 million) New hiking and ATV trails connections ($31 million) Expanding a campground facility ($1 million) This bill will probably emerge from conference committee today. The governor will have three days to veto or sign the bill. Take Action: Call Governor Pawlenty right now at (toll free) 1-877-378-3864 to urge him to veto the bonding bill.

While we're all for the environment, Green Hell explains why we need to oppose the environmentalists." --Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, the Weekly Standard "Green Hell is the `inconvenient truth' on extremist, growth-killing environmentalism. A must-read for those interested in keeping America free and prosperous." --Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes "Regardless of whether you believe global warming is a fraud, the fact is that the current depression, the past spike in oil prices, and the coming technology of electric cars are all going to solve whatever problem exists. Liberals want to use climate change as an excuse to take over the economy and regulate everything and this book exposes their plans." --Dick Morris, FOX News commentator and former political consultant to Bill Clinton "This book describes why the world can't afford to fall for global warming alarmism and environmental hysteria.

Green Hell is a must-read for anyone who wants to keep America on that path and away from Soviet-style command-and-control environmentalism." --Larry Kudlow, Host, CNBC's The Kudlow Report Our Bookstore Archive < March 2010 > Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 28 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Monthly March, 2010 February, 2010 January, 2010 December, 2009 November, 2009 October, 2009 September, 2009 August, 2009 July, 2009 June, 2009 May, 2009 April, 2009 March, 2009 February, 2009 January, 2009 December, 2008 November, 2008 October, 2008 September, 2008 August, 2008 July, 2008 June, 2008 May, 2008 April, 2008 March, 2008 February, 2008 January, 2008 December, 2007 November, 2007 October, 2007 August, 2007 June, 2007 May, 2007 March 13, 2010
