So the auditor sends state money to the trust, then the trust "grants" it back to h auditor. Does anyone believe that means its no longer state money? Ha! <br /><br />My second point is about he subject matter of this video. It's a blatant promotional piece to help Monica Lindeen campaign. But guess who appears most in the video? That's right, her attorney --democrat Jesse Laslovich --who is running for attorney general. This would be a big story for some enterprising reporter -- if their are any left.<br /><br />Here are some questions the reporter should ask:<br /><br />1 who funds the "Inverstor Protection Trust"<br /><br />2 how much money has te auditors office sent this entity?<br /><br />3 how much has been sent to it since Lindeen took office? <br /><br />4 how much more since Laslovich came on staff?<br /><br />5- what is the dollar value of the screen time Lindeen and Laslovich appear in the movie-- if hey had had to purchase it in campaign ads of 30 seconds each?Drill Baby Drillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08162875942268704966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-6665387041084778202012-04-28T16:46:45.598-06:002012-04-28T16:46:45.598-06:00Thanks Gee Guy

JUICY MOVIE
The Havre...From today's Tribune:<br /><br />JUICY MOVIE <br /><br />The Havre Daily Corrector blog griped Wednesday about a free prime rib meal being offered by Monica Lindeen, state commissioner of securities and insurance, before the showing of a film on investment fraud called “Gold Diggers.” The free meal will be May 3 at 6 p.m. at the Elks Lodge in Havre; other showings are scheduled around the state.<br /><br />The Corrector pontificated: “Obviously the state budget is large enough to forget the old peanut butter and jelly sandwich if they can afford to spread around prime rib dinners like there will be no tomorrow.”<br /><br />“This is not taxpayer money paying for the dinners,” replied Lucas Hamilton, communications director for Lindeen. Instead, the money came from a nonprofit group, the Investor Protection Trust, which receives its money from criminals who either voluntarily donate to the trust or do so by court order, Hamilton said.<br /><br />He said the state received a $28,000 grant from the trust, to cover production of the documentary and 16 events around the state, with dinner costs included.<br /><br />It’s not the state paying for dinners in Havre. It’s criminals who have ripped people off.<br /><br />The Daily Corrector by mid-Thursday had yet to give the state agency’s side of the story directly, although it noted the Northern Ag Network interviewed Hamilton. Often it’s too much trouble for bloggers to actually check out the facts behind what they are whining about.<br /><br />What’s the fun in that?GeeGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896054313394692210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492931707682284644.post-66742468565334494632012-04-26T11:51:39.584-06:002012-04-26T11:51:39.584-06:00At least they had the good sense to serve beef whe...At least they had the good sense to serve beef when coming to cow country.
