Time To Call A Spade A spade...

John Ward, State Representative for District 12A, has been lining his pockets --- ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE MINNESOTA HOUSE- with more of OUR tax dollars.
Seems Johnny and his buds at the capitol decided they needed raises.
They gave themselves raises in per Diem (money per day) from $66 to $76 dollars per day.
OK. Fine. I have no beef with per Diem's.
But Johnny and his pals decided that they shouldn't have to show any PROOF
for what they claim they spent (ie., receipts, or vouchers.)
No big deal, except that if you and I want to claim something as a deduction for an expense, we need every shred of evidence as proof, up to and including a blood test to prove we spent it.
Why are John Ward and his DFLiberal pals allowed to skate, taking our tax dollars without proof of pain or misery on their part?

OK. that's bad enough on its own.

But John Ward and the DFL legislature ALSO voted to give themselves a year- around housing subsidy of $1200 per month- - - EVEN WHEN THE LEGISLATURE IS NOT IN SESSION!
Can you imagine that? When John wants to take his best gal to a Minneapolis play in November, YOU get to PAY for his apartment! Who CARES that the legislature is NOT IN SESSION?
These clowns are raking in $31,000 for a PART- TIME JOB of 4 months or less, PLUS $14400 for their housing!!
Plus $77 per day spending allowances without having to show receipts!
This truly IS Minnesota Welfare, but not the kind you and I ever imagined or anticipated.
Tell ALL your representatives NOW that you will NOT STAND FOR THIS WASTE OF OUR TAX DOLLARS!
