Soucheray: Enjoy those loons on Sunfish Lake, governor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:50:26 GMT

The governor, apparently not so tone deaf that he won’t hear the loons from the deck, will be renting Mike McFadden’s estate on Sunfish Lake for 18 months, from May until the fall of 2024, for $17,326 a month, or $314,662.50 total. See, there is too bipartisanship. McFadden — his name should be familiar — ran on the Republican ticket for the U.S. Senate in 2014 against Al Franken.That payment, not so incidentally, doesn’t include $15,000 for new carpeting.What’s a measly 15 grand when you’re sitting on a record surplus that isn’t going back to the people who paid it?Tim Walz, that flannel-shirt-wearing man of the people, won’t pay a nickel for the 8,000-square-foot digs. We will. On top of everything else, most principally Walz’s ever expanding and more expensive state government, Walz has us foot the bill for his lodging. The guy doesn’t own a house. He lives in the governor’s mansion on Summit Avenue, but the mansion needs renovation to the tune of $6.3 million.If I’m ...

In the state of New York, schools are currently not allowed to make payments to athletes directly. Those NIL payments have to come through a third party. For Siena, that's where Saints March On comes in, founded by Frank and Sheila Ambrose, and Matt Moberg. "We take donations from people and we pool those resources," says Frank Ambrose. "Then we make arrangements with athletes to do things like make public appearances, do charity work and build and expand the...
