Here's how the Republican party is doing in Minnesota right now. They've been in debt for years, so the new chairwoman came up with a new idea - she's demanding a 10% cut of money donated to the party:
Campaign finance experts say the arrangement is unheard of in party politics.
Carnahan requested a $66,000 salary when she ran for chair in April 2017, saying that it’s “important to keep as much money in the party as possible,” according to notes from her presentation.
Apparently she feels differently now that she's got the job. But hey, this is the new face of politics, right? You pay your money, I get my percentage, you get your access. Nothing to be ashamed about, right?
She said the person responsible for her proposal being publicized “stabbed the party in the back.”
Oh. I guess they weren't quite ready for that rock to be looked under.
