There is a story in the Tribune about the city borrowing money to the Chamber. Didn't I tell you they would funnel that money through a phoney business entity?
This town is so corrupt they're becoming predictable.

Since the Chamber is an advocacy group, which lobbies for businesses, it had to form a neutral organization which could accept the money and use it only for building payments, said Hamersly. The city's revolving fund cannot be used for lobbying groups.
The organization the Chamber created is called the Albert Lea Area Improvement Company

City Manager Sparks explained that because the money to be loaned is federal money the City cannot loan it to any lobbyist based group, such as the Chamber. Ms. Hamersly then explained that the Chamber will be filing articles of incorporation for a non-profit corporation named Albert Lea Area Improvement Company, Inc. that will exist for the purpose of receiving loans and donations for the purpose of purchasing the building.

Here's the next puzzle for you to figure out.
When discussing giving the Chamber a loan to buy that building Fjelsted opposed giving them the money because There would soon be room in city hall and they could move in there.
Where do you think that extra room is going to come from?
