Walleye and Corrupt Legislators in Minnesota

By Rocky Thompson on May 28th, 2010

You give some people a little power and they go nuts. A Minnesota congressman inserted language into a Fish and Wildlife bill that sought to improve walleye fishing on a lake where he owns a cabin. It gets better - the guy was also trying to get a cable TV show running, and he approached Arctic Cat as a sponsor of the show while he was working on legislation that could be of major benefit to the snowmobile makers. And then Arctic Cat then sold him a snowmobile at a discount. Hilarious stuff, the Minnesota legislature. It’s so sad to see people sellout for too low a price. Hopefully he gets some nice walleye after losing the next election.

    well we don’t have any oil, so we have to find some more creative ways to be corrupted.
