I'm sure by now that everyone reading this blog has seen and read the Camden News that came in the mail yesterday. We were shocked to see such an expensive ad by the Kris Brogan gang in the paper. We couldn't help but wonder what the cost of an ad that size and in color no less would cost? Remember the old campaign debt Kris Brogan has been carrying all these years was to a printer...so did Camden News get paid in advance for this costly ad? Will they get paid if not? One has to wonder about these things with a history for non payment of bills like Kris Brogan has!
In the ad Kris Brogan claims, "We need a leader who puts our neighborhoods and residents first" and we have to wonder what the hell that means? The current council person has not only fought for the residents of the forth ward but also fought for residents of the third ward when needed. In the middle of investigating the signatures on Kris Brogans petition we asked the question, "What are Kris and Mick Brogan so mad about?" one of the answers we got was, "Kris and Mick are mad that their business, Papa's Pizza failed and they blame the city, they blame the county, and they blame the residents of North Minneapolis." We were reminded of the letter Kris Brogan put in the local rag about residents of North Minneapolis needing to support her business.
Kris Brogan also notes in her ad that she wants to "turn those empty lots into healthy homes for good families". Once again Kris Brogans track record does not show that this is what she will do, her track record shows that she will sell out the north side time and time again for agency's wanting to move felons and other unsavory people into north Minneapolis. Kris Brogan has made her money selling out the homeowners of North Minneapolis to companies like RS Eden who although provide a needed service, have concentrated their troubled tenants in North Minneapolis. Kris Brogan has not spent her time trying to find ways to build quality, affordable single family homes in North Minneapolis!
Good Jobs the ad claims, but once again we turn to Kris Brogans history in the creating jobs arena and are reminded that when starting Papa's Pizza Kris and Mick Brogan choose to do things their way rather then listen to those people in the know in North Minneapolis. When the business was failing and residents called for pizza delivery, Kris Brogan waited until it was way to late to implement this service! When questioned early on about why Papas didn't offer deliver Kris Brogan stated, "Because Mick and I want the people of North Minneapolis to come to the shop and eat outside, its the only way to take back North Minneapolis" at the time the Brogans didn't even live in North Minneapolis and yet they choose to tell the residents what they needed rather then ask them what they wanted. We truly believe this is another example of how Kris Brogan would run the ward, she would tell us what we need rather then ask us what we wanted!
It remains interesting to us that Kris Brogan fresh off a failed business, fresh our of bankruptcy court, and with a recent home foreclosure is running for city council? One resident of North Minneapolis claims to have been told Kris Brogan it was "Because Mick needs health insurance is the big reason", if this is true we can think of a dozen ways to health insurance that does not involve the city of Minneapolis and the tax payers paying for it!
Continue to tune into The Brogan Files as we explore the real reason Kris Brogan is running for office, we hope to have more information also on the petition as we meet with two more people on the list today!
