| #8 He's been driving on a Wisconsin license since 2000. Something about Minnesota not allowing him to have one due to non-payment of child support. That said, a lot of folks working in the Twin Cities live across the river in Wisconsin. Lower property and sales taxes. Although Minnesota requires that you get one of their licenses within 6-months of actually residing in their state. |

| #7 this Minnesota Representative was driving on a Wisconsin license So, he doesn't even have a legal residence in the district he claims to represent. Being a member of the Party exempts you from all rules. |

| #5 A law I would love to see. ALL elected officials will be truthful regarding all community matters and NOT incite civil disharmony and distrust among the voters. Violators to face Recall within 30 days, when found to be in violation. |

| #3 The part that no one seems to mention is that this Minnesota Representative was driving on a Wisconsin license. Also, he seems to have a rep for abusing the distaff side. |
