the hit on Carter and have been wondering how independent I E PAC's actually
are, I got a mailing from another I E today and I hope that we can use as an
learning tool.
So this I E PAC "People for Melvin" (AFSCME and Teacher's money is my best
guess) did a mailing that is titled "Its time for a Mayor who represents
everyone in Saint Paul" they have 21 portraits of people... not one person who
looks remotely Hmong...there is nobody in a hijab. There are 21 portraits but
its clearly not everyone in Saint Paul. There are some important everyone's
missing.
If you think for one minute that Melvin Carter would have let that piece go out
if he would have seen it you are just as crazy as the people who think that Pat
Harris had anything to do with the piece that the Better Saint Paul PAC sent
out.
These PAC's take in the monies from unions and are able to beet the campaign
spending limits by operating independent of the campaign. Clearly this piece
won't hurt Melvin anywhere near like the other piece will damage Harris, but
hopefully we see that they are independent of the campaigns. Because the
campaigns don't do this to themselves.
