Back in January, Bluestem noted that in addition to being sued by the United States Attorney for not paying back a loan from the Small Business Administration, "Common sense money management" dude Senator Nienow was also sued in state court by the company from which he'd acquired his camping information service.
Minnesota Public Radio's Tom Scheck reports on the federal case today in U.S. Attorney wants state senator to immediately pay $748,000 to federal government. Unlike January, Nienow has a couple of things to say about the case:
. . .Nienow said that he hasn’t seen the latest filing.
“I have not seen anything yet,” Nienow said.
Nienow said little about the complaint when it was filed in January. He is now acknowledging that his business, National Camp Association, was not profitable.
“Well the reality is, there was a business loan, and the business did not succeed,” Nienow said.
When asked how he intends to pay back the loan and handle the complaint, Nienow said “that will be worked out as we go forward.” . . .
Fortunately for Nienow, Sheck has posted the latest filing by the U.S. attorney (below), so Nienow should get a chance to check out what's up with that.
