But, Rep. Kahn and other politicos would continue to receive their political contributions and other largess from the fund. This windfall would end if they did they did the right thing for the MPRA members and the Minneapolis taxpayer and removed all the MPRA funds to the state for administration.
The MPRA would be kept self managed by the 70 or so politicians who receive donations from this fund strictly for self serving purposes. There is only selfish reasons for keeping this fund from joining the 48 other fire/police funds administered under PERA. The Minneapolis taxpayer be damned!
