"Always Cheat", part of a quote from Gov. Jessie Ventura, and the title of a new book by North Mpls. researcher and author Leslie Davis.
This book is a wild ride and an easy read as Mr. Davis outlines and documents his contention that "Jessie'' and company (a huge cast of top current political appointees and others) committed a series of crimes and cover ups. He describes the manipulation of official inquires through stalling, stonewalling and illegal breeches of sworn confidentiality, among his many allegations. And he seems to verify much of his accusations in describing a wide web of shady occurrences. Most all requisites of a "good read" are included. Yes, the author describes and diagrams his belief of an ongoing conspiracy among many "Bigs" in Minnesota politics starting with the Guv and his top advisor and appointee, Dean Barkley. But there is ohhh-so much more; Davis offers a tie-in to an unsolved Minnesota murder mystery, and describes a tainted and secretive love affair in high places. A series of political cartoons by Pete Wagner, multi-award winning 'toonist keeps it fun. You be the judge of the crime and conspiracy. It is a compelling and well diagrammed first person narrative and all will recognize the cast of characters and local references. Congratulations to Leslie Davis a hardworking and hardwriting Northsider.
