Republican Marty Seifert and his campaign are spending a lot of time trying to misconstrue Tom Emmer’s record and words, but little attention has been paid to his own record. But of course every single time Tom Emmer provides more evidence he is the more preferred candidate, Seifert’s team gets nastier and nastier. It seems to be their “winning strategy”.
Now I have said I don’t want to go down this road, but Seifert’s own campaign staff and advisors are running with scissors, so here goes.
Marty Seifert worked for Southwest State University. (Source: Meet Marty Seifertforgovernor.com)
From 1999 to 2006, Seifert was an Admissions Counselor at Southwest Minnesota State University. He has been on unpaid leave since December, 2006.But did you know that in 1997, just before he joined the University, he authored a bill to FUNNEL Southwest State Univ. over half a million dollars?
Residual Forces posts that, here; and this is not some DFL hit piece.
It is a pro-Emmer site, no hiding of that openly professed blogger agenda, see, e.g., this post.
The Siefert thing - will it grow legs? And why was it not an inquisitive mainstream media outlet that blew this whistle? Go figure.
It is something that voters should have a more publicized knowledge of, going into the general election, and looking at what each party then offers.
