The IRRRRRB has had some decent chapters and some disgusting chapters. We're in a disgusting chapter. I wonder how long Governor Walz will put up with this? Just think how we look to the rest of the state. Walz needs to clean this up. That's the Governor's job. If he lets this fester, it just shows that he can't control his own administration. How many more tricks are in the pipeline?. There's plenty of cash in the IRRRRRB right now.... Maybe the Timberjay's article, which has spread to other newspapers' stories, will lead to some accountability.

The above article says: "Current board chair and District 3A state Rep. Rob Ecklund, DFL-International Falls, said he first learned of the hiring when Radinovich walked into his legislative office in St. Paul and told him about it. He said he’s comfortable leaving the hiring decisions in the hands of the staff." That seems a little oddly detached to me, considering that Rob is the Chair of the IRRR Board. Didn't know about it until after the hire?

Regardless, I suppose the 501c3 elites will line up at the IRRRRRB trough for more, often questionable, goodies and we peon Democrats will remain very frustrated.

On the brighter side, we're lucky to have a diligent press doing some valuable investigative reporting. Thank you to the Timberjay.
