Well, DOJ?

May 1st, 2026

It’s too bizarre to believe. Wabasha Police understood. Time for the DOJ to get serious about its job.

PowerOn Midwest

PUC Docket CN-25-117 (western part of 765kV) — the meetings are wrapping up:

Comments due May 20th:

So many meetings this month, all over Minnesota for FOUR transmission projects “PowerOn Midwest,” and May will start out the same, it’s “Open House” season for “Gopher to Badger” May 4-7th… Both have meetings in Zumbrota — there’s some overlap, and of course, these are connected, it’s all one project.

Zumbrota – tonight Wednesday, April 29 at 5 or 6 pm, and Tuesday, May 5, from 4-6 pm

… and written comments are due May 20 by 4:30 pm. They’re looking for comments on:

We’ve got about three weeks to get comments in.

Yesterday was Albert Lea and then Austin. This evening, Zumbrota (yes, I’ll be missing Kasson, which starts about now).

The map on display shows the overlap between PowerOn Midwest and Gopher to Badger. What do those numbers in grey represent?

These are Public Utilities Commission’s meetings, “information and scoping,” and not hearings like they used to be. Here’s the full notice:

Double Tree in Austin

On to Zumbrota! 5 or 6 pm, be there or be square!

Campaign Finance Workshop

April 29th, 2026

Save the date!

I’m putting together a Campaign Finance Workshop, free and open to the public, of course, and will send out engraved invitations to the Recall and candidates who’ve been found to have violated campaign finance law, to all filed candidates, and to local elected officials who have the good fortune not to have to run this year.

Campaign Finance Workshop

1-2:30 p.m., Saturday, June 20

Red Wing Library

Latest complaint against Mayor Iocco for failure to file amended Complaint dismissed because there’s a 1 year statute of limitations. Minn. Stat. 211B.32. GRRRRRR. And although the ALJ in earlier Order & Memorandum stated in writing that Iocco had said under oath that he’d file amended report, this judge casts doubt on that and states that “[t]he final Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order in the November 2024 Case did not require Respondent to make an amended filing.” Oh, OK. Another GRRRRRR.

Keep your eyes open for a Campaign Finance Law workshop on June 20th, with engraved invitations for everyone running in November 2026 election, Red Wing City Council, School Board, Goodhue County, State House and Senate, and others who’ve run in past elections.

Staged… good grief…

April 25th, 2026

So far the best video above. Watch this guy (who is he?) tearing a check out of checkbook page out of a small notebook and gleefully displaying it (one word, large letters, starts with a “V”)… and suddenly there’s yelling and swat, cammos, long guns on stage, guy dead on the floor in lobby, and the show goes on? Not clearing the scene, not evacuating, hey, no problem, carry on! Everyone milling around for a long time, until they clear the room, then milling around in the street. No danger, no panic, is this a normal reaction? Obviously fake, planned, staged…

Fiddling while Rome burns, or arranging the chairs on the Titanic, though music did stop. But of course, there was no danger, there was no other shooter, they knew exactly what was happening.

But correction, it wasn’t a body, the guy was alive and not shot. Video shows he ran through area and 10-15 ? Secret Service, FBI, rent-a-cops? were there, jumped to attention and pointed guns, shots were fired, and not one hit him? How is that possible???

And Leavitt’s statement, if it wasn’t planned, if she didn’t know, that’s a really weird thing to say. Much like Trump’s invitation to the Ellipse on January 6th, “It’ll be WILD!” Yes, it was wild. Yes, there were “some shots fired.”
