State Politics


Ortman named 'Best Friend of the Taxpayer'


Chan Dinner Theatres angered over late legislation

By Forrest Adams

Language that came about late in this year’s legislative session has Chanhassen’s largest tourist attraction at odds with Carver County state legislators. 


Ortman disputes climate change warnings

Minnesota Senator Julianne Ortman (R-Chanhassen) got in on the climate change debate and had strong words for her frantic DFL counterpart on the senate floor. The DFL senator was claiming state legislators should do something to counteract climate change because she said children were afraid. Sen. Ortman said there's no need to be afraid because the science isn't settled. What are your opinions? See the You Tube video of their discussion at http://www.globalclimatescam.com/?p=101


Furlong appears in Coleman video

Saint Paul - The Coleman for Senate campaign today released “Bringing People Together: Minnesota Mayors,” a webvideo featuring Chanhassen Mayor Tom Furlong. In the video, Furlong discusses his relationship with Senator Coleman, the important role that Mayors play in the public policy process and the unique perspective Norm Coleman brings to the Senate as Minnesota’s Mayor in Washington.
