Hoosier...
One might want to check facts before posting. The "pro" side of this is the group with the cash, which is fine by me, just pointing it out.
So maybe you can tell me where I have taken money from "the industry"? In fact, what is "the industry"? Some hidden group of small off sale stores somehow outspending SuperValue?

Maybe I'm wrong here but if you follow the link that shows
Dan Dorman political contibutors
In the list of contributors you'll see the largest amount of money comes from "Republican Small Contributions" and if you look at the Republican Small Contribution sources you'll see the lions share of this money comes from HOUSE REPUBLICAN PARTY MN CAMPAIGN CMTE
Ok now the last link you need to follow is the list of groups that the MINNESOTA LICENSED BEVERAGE ASSOC gives money to. If you scroll down that page you'll see that the MINNESOTA LICENSED BEVERAGE ASSOC gives money to the HOUSE REPUBLICAN PARTY CAMPAIGN CMTE.
So doesn't that mean money goes from the "Minnesota Licensed Beverage Assoc" to the "House Republican Party Campaign Committee" to the "Republican Small Contributions" to Dan Dorman? Or am I just reading that wrong?

what is wrong with selling Jesus juice in grocery stores? If Jesus drank it, it must be good.

Still I agree that a gambling casino would be a major boon to our community and if they wanted to sell "Jesus Juice" there, fine...but, no hotel/motel onsite. Hopefully, they will travel here and have car problems in order to keep our AUTO PARTS stores in business. What is the deal with all the auto stores anyway, the fact that due to no jobs or productive industry, no one can afford to buy a new vehicle??? Hey, I think I just answered my own question.

Guest, thank you very much for that info. Dan Dorman comes here often saying he doesnt take money from this or that. But everytime you push him on it or someone does some digging, we always find out he has his hands in someones pockets. Dan, plain and simple, you take PAC money, you have sold yourslef and your vote, dont try convince people here that you dont. Thanks also Guest for pointing out the industry that Dan and the Republicans take money from, he tried to make it look to people here that there was no industry or PAC watching out for the liq. business.
So Dan, you need to get your facts straight before you come in here posting. I believe I have had mine straight on you all along, you are no different than other politicians, you vote with your pocket. You make me sick, and by they, you might scare some people in town, but not me, you are a crooked politician, we should scare you.

Websters Dictionary- Bribe, anything given or promised as an inducement.
Tell me, how is it that taking bribes or offering them is frowned on and even illegal in every country and job on the planet, but one. Our own U.S. politician. Dan will try to spin this as he always does, he has learned the ropes and how to lie all to well during his time in Saint Paul, but when someone hands you money and says we would sure like you to vote this way on this legislation, you are taking a bribe. PAC money is the legal way our criminal politicians have set the system up so they can benifit from these bribes and continue to get elected. All we do is unwittenly cast our votes, but we arent even in the game folks, the people with the money are the ones people like Dan and his buddies in Saint Paul and Washington listen to.
