I guess you want to keep your dealings to benefit your buddies as much out of the public eye as possible.
There’s one other thing that is odd in this story. The Herald story is claiming that the losses from concerts was $499,000. That’s strange because when the financial reports were released last February the Herald reported that number to be $719,000. The Alerus Commission ran a full page ad in the Herald where they claimed that the concert losses were $631,000.
At the time they claimed that they lost that money on the Neil Diamond Concert and two other concerts. Now they did say that they lost $250,000 on the Diamond concert but never accounted for the rest.
So where did the rest of the money go? Was it $249,000 or was it $470,000 or something in between? Did the money to support the Obama/Clinton campaign event? Did it go to payoff a disputed matter concerning the Fleetwood Mac concert? In either case it was inappropriate to sneak that through the event fund.
It’s our money. We have every right to get an exact accounting of that.
I expect that the North Dakota Attorney General will be asked to look into the matter of the secret illegal meetings next week.
