Soucheray Visit

My wife and I went to the Minnesota State Fair on Wednesday. In amongst sharing a cheese curd with the Governor and visiting the Republican Party booth, I found myself on AM 1500's Joe Soucheray Show. Producer Angie predicted it would be a version of 'Grilling the Politician' but the 6 minute appearance turned quickly to talking about the $486-Million per cash welfare benefit payments, millions of which were paid out in every other state in the nation; $1.3-Million in Illinois last year, nearly $3,000 in Hawaii. This is the Minnesota welfare program, not the United States welfare system funded solely by Minnesota taxpayers. Soucheray asked if I would sponsor legislation to repeal the system and replace it with one that makes sense and I said that would be at the top of the list next January, if elected. Then he asked me how many terms I was willing to serve and I said two. Just in case you weren't listening to the Soucheray show. My opponent and I will be on the WWWI program Koep-ing with Government next Wednesday, September 3rd at 9am. 1270AM, 95.9FM. Join us.
