Its become hard for us to keep up with all the e-mails we have received so once again we will take some time to try and answer your questions the best we can. Forgive us if your e-mail didn't make the cut as we tried to answer the e-mails with the most asked questions.
E-mail from "B"
Thanks for the blog, I for one have no love for the current council member but your writings made me see the alternative is not a good option. Do you know what the date of the board meeting for the vina scandal?
I would encourage the people who have the goods on the pocket rat to not only contact the cops but call him out on Facebook when he gets all high horse on others illegal behavior.
Thanks again
Answer to "B"
We have not found the date you are looking for. We do know it was shortly before Papa's closed for business. I'm sure you can ask to have this issue brought up at a ViNa meeting and with open disclosure laws they should provide you the requested information. As for the rest of your e-mail B we would encourage you to call him out on Facebook! It has to start someplace.
E-mail from "A"
Dear Victory,
I love reading the blog please don't stop. We gave money to the Brogans when the pizza place was having financial trouble and no we did not ever get paid back. I know that Duane has said on Facebook a few times that he got paid back but it is not true that everyone did. We felt pushed into giving and did it so that we could remain at peace with Kris and her husband. Please keep telling the story because most people don't have a clue of what has gone on in Victory neighborhood. My question is do you know if the Brogans will move if she does not win?
Answer to "A"
We unfortunately do not know the answer to your question "A" but if history repeats its self you can bet that they will end up in foreclose and moving. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and we will be here to cover all things Brogan at least until election night.
E-mail from 1832
Do you know that Mick use to stand in the window of papas pizza and scream at cars that parked in front of the shop? He screamed at us once when we went into get our prescription and then said he was sorry he thought we went into the car repair place. Once while I was having lunch in papas Kris and Mick got into a screaming match by the till and I thought they would kill each other. Mick has been known to cause a scene in public because of his temper. Kris is no angle either as she told my wife off once for saying that papas should do delivery and more people would order. Kris always blows up and then wants people to forgive her later after she cools down. Seems they are a good match for each other.
Answer to "1832"
Yes 1832 we have had MANY reports of the Brogans and their blow ups! We have had reports of Mick being arrested after a blow up the Wells Fargo Bank parking lot because he pulled a gun on a customer. Its no secret that these two are a couple of hot heads and one day someone will not take to kindly to their behavior!
E-mail from "Chris"
Thank you for providing this blog for us. We read it often and even get a laugh at the names you use, they are so spot on for a couple of the regulars. We wanted to know if you have seen or have a copy of the e-mail that the Brogans sent around our neighborhood requesting we all call 311 on the auto repair shop on the corner? I wish I had saved a copy of it but it requested that we keep calling every day we see his customers park in front of his building or any place else on Thomas or 42nd. My husband and I get our car fixed there and we didn't want anything to do with this. Thank you again for the information.
Answer to "Chris"
Dear Chris, We do have a copy of the e-mail you speak of and have referenced it many times in the blog. We know that some people have even confronted Kris Brogan on this and she publically denied do it.
E-mail from "Connie"
Why don't you grow a set and give us your name. Its hard to believe a person who wont put their name on their work.
Answer to Connie
Dearest Connie, we have told over and over on the blog the horror story's of how the Brogans have retaliated against other residents in North Minneapolis, why on earth would we take the risk of Mick going all half cocked (pun intended) and showing up with a gun?
E-mail from "P"
I am wondering if the Brogans lost their home in south Minneapolis to foreclosure. I over heard a conversation one night about how Kris and Mick Brogan mortgaged their house to start the pizza place. Is this true and if so that would be a long list of unpaid debt starting with the house and the pizza place and the prior campaign debt?
Answer to "P"
Yes we believe it to be true, We say "believe" as the only proof we have is the foreclosure documents on the south Minneapolis property and that it took the sheriff to remove them. We have no idea what the money got spent on. There is also a rumor that Kris Brogan had a small inheritance that she lost to the Papa's fiasco also. These are glowing examples of why we at the Brogan files don't think Kris Brogan should be in politics, at least not when we are talking about our city's budget! maybe if she ran for dog catcher we could support her. The very odd past of Kris Brogans campaign is that she calls out another person for being what she sees as fiscally irresponsible and yet Kris and Mick have lost a house, a business, and taken money from a neighborhood association knowing they were closing! That's seems like the ultimate in fiscally irresponsible behavior to us!
E-mail from "ZZ19"
dude why write about Mikey Brogan when this is about his mom. The guys a good kid and that's not cool.
Answer to "ZZ19"
Its simple. We wrote about Mikey to show that this is a family of trouble and not the shinning example of the Cleavers that Kris Brogan wanted everyone in North to believe. Mikey was also a big part of Papa's Pizza and although his name was not on the documents he took part in a lot of the negative things that went down on 42 and Thomas! He is not a minor with a snotty nose, he is a snotty nose adult who still depends on mom and dad to tell him what to think!
E-mail from "D"
Didn't Barb Johnson support the RS Eden and Alliance housing that Kris Brogan brought into North?
Answer to "D"
Barb may have supported the RS Eden and Alliance housing Kris Brogan brought into North but keep in mind these projects are in Don Samuels ward. They are not in Barb's ward and if she was asked to support the building by Don Samuels she probably did. I would support RS Eden and Alliance building in any other part of the city except my ward too!
