I have been seeing stories reported in the news that have raised some questions about what direction Pres. Bruininks is taking the U of MN in. Everything starts and finishes with the Gopher football stadium, which was partially funded by the school (state of Minnesota) and TCF Bank. It seems like Pres. Bruininks wanted “bringing [...]
I find it very interesting that U of MN President Robert H. Bruininks wasn’t at the rally. Recently, funding was affected to the U of MN stem cell research program, which I believe doesn’t use only embryo stem cells but also adult stem cell’s. Why did Pres. Bruininks vow to getting alcohol sales back to [...]
On Saturday, I reached out to one of my DFL contacts and he helped me obtain three VIP tickets so that I would be close to the action at the “GOTV For A Better Minnesota Rally”, with my friends Alex and Nate Kado. We went out and volunteered, at the Wright Building Saturday morning, in [...]
Yesterday I read an article in the Star Tribune about how Joel Pourier stole more than $1 million from a charter school in Minneapolis. Pourier was hired by the school in 2002 as a finance director and was later promoted to executive director. When he applied for the position he listed on his resume that [...]
Tonight a DFL Congressional District 2 Central Committee meeting was held at Lakeville’s Heritage Library. The meeting was called after the results of the primary showed that Shelley Madore won over DFL party endorsed Dan Powers. The committee needed to vote this evening to see if Madore would receive the party endorsement. It was great [...]
Yesterday I went out to the Dakota County Fair to volunteer at the DFL booth. We had some volunteers and a candidate (Sigrid) in attendance. Sigrid Iverson is running for MN State House for 36B. It was a beautiful Minnesota day and I was surprised with the turn out of fair goers for the first [...]
We are getting really close to the primary, August 10th to be exact. I saw the results yesterday of the KSTP/Service USA poll and it showed that Mark Dayton had around 43% of the vote and Margaret Anderson Kelliher had 27%. Leaving Matt Enteza with 22%. When you look at any type of poll, you [...]
Wednesday, DFL endorsed candidate for Minnesota House of Representatives, Jeremiah Ellis (District 65A) held a ice cream social at the Dar’s Double Scoop. I made sure to enjoy a variety of ice cream flavors but I also enjoyed seeing the ethnic variety of supporters that came out for Ellis. This district consists of the Summit/University-Rondo, [...]
With the sun shinning bright Tuesday afternoon, MAK made it clear that she wasn’t going to allow the GOP to bully around Minnesota’s service industry workers. She has reached out to groups across the state and Tuesday wasn’t any different. She held a press conference to shed light on a growing issue amongst service industry [...]
On Monday, Margaret Anderson Kelliher and a number of Native American leaders from around the state met at Mille Lacs Band Government Center.
