About Brodkorb’s departure from MDE: Why?

July 3rd, 2009 12:00 am by DJ D

Much fanfare has been made on the other side of the aisle about GOP activist/operative/consultant/blogger Michael Brodkorb’s decision to leave Minnesota Democrats Exposed.

In light of this departure, I am left with a couple of simple questions:

Mike, why was it no problem for you to continue blogging at MDE after you began accepting paychecks from the taxpayers upon starting your position at the Minnesota Senate, yet now that you are Deputy Chair of the Republican Party of Minnesota (a gig from which you proclaimed you will draw no salary at all), why do you all of a sudden now feel that you are prevented from blogging?

Is there something you feel you owe the rank and file of the Minnesota GOP in preventing a conflict of interest that you didn’t also owe the taxpayers?

Inquiring minds want to know.  Thanks.

Your pal,

DJ D
