If failed boorish burrito baron Tony Sutton let customers stiff him at Baja Sol, the restaurant chain he and wife/Republican activist Bridget Sutton once co-owned, like he's done to Greater Minnesota counties, it' no wonder former business partner and TCF boss Bill Cooper showed them the door.
The Star Tribune reports today that the Republican Party of Minnesota still owes $27,115 to Greater Minnesota counties for 2010 gubernatorial recount.
In GOP still owes some counties for recount, readers learn:
The Republican Party of Minnesota still owes money to about one-third of the state's counties for work performed before the 2010 gubernatorial recount.
Thirty counties are owed a total of $27,115 for work processing data requests for the party, according to the GOP.
"We are picking away at them," said state party Chairman Tony Sutton.
The recount came after DFLer Mark Dayton scraped past Republican Tom Emmer by 9,257 votes.
GOP leaders filed a blizzard of requests around the state seeking data about election judges, absentee ballots and other issues in an effort to find voting irregularities. In the end, they dropped their challenge.
The party's debt ranges from $192 for Yellow Medicine County in western Minnesota to $2,020 for Goodhue County, southeast of the Twin Cities. . . .

Can you believe Minnesota GOPers actually have the cajones to say with a straight face:
"You can't spend more than you have in your checkbook."
Unreal.
I've never seen a bigger collection of crooks, liars, and hypocrites than in the GOP's 2011 Session Of Scoundrels.
