Dave Weinlick asked about corporate contributions. Yes, they are illegal under Minnesota Statute 211B. And one of these corporate contributions to the Johnson-Lee campaign are from Augie's strip club no less!
Also illegal are contributions from foreign nationals. I noticed in an article about the St Paul mayor's race that Randy Kelly bragged about getting contributions from Australia and Belgium. Those are illegal too. Of course if it is a US citizen who is temporarily living abroad, that would be legal. On another somewhat related note, I'm serving on a task force to redesign the voter registration card, and we were all reminded that you are to vote WHERE YOU LIVE, not where you work or own rental property, unless you actually live where you work or rent out units. For example, a landlord who lives in Edina and owns property in North Minneapolis should not vote in the Mpls elections, only Edina ones. linda higgins old highland REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
