I would ask Andy to give some facts to back up this sweeping
generalization, because frankly, I find it quite unbelievable!
"millions are being poured into campaigns" -- in Minneapolis
campaigns? Come on, Andy! I doubt that the entire amount spent by all the
City Council candidates, board candidates, etc. put together totaled even a
single "million".
With the contribution limits we have ($100 in off years, $500 in
election year), it would take an awful lot of "wealthy individuals" to come
up with "millions". And corporations -- corporate contributions are
illegal for all campaign in Minnesota. If Andy has, as he says,
"knowledge" of any such contributions, he should be talking to the County
Attorney, not to this list!
(And if he's talking about the Presidential elections, rather than
Minneapolis ones, it does not belong on this list.)
