(pg. 9) • Of the 7,048 completed forfeitures reported, 4,380 involved seized cash, property that was sold, or an agreement that required monetary compensation to the agency.2 The total value of net proceeds from these forfeitures was $7,426,740. (pg. 9) • In 2016, gross sales of forfeited property or seized cash totaled $9,597,660; administrative expenses and lien holder’s obligations totaled $2,394,602;3 and net proceeds totaled $7,426,740.4 (pg. 9) • The agencies with 100 or more completed forfeitures in 2016 were: the Minnesota State Patrol (1,039); the Southeast Minnesota Narcotics and Gang Task Force (269); the Dakota County Drug Task Force (232); the Minneapolis Police Department (197); the Saint Paul Police Department (174); the Rochester Police Department (166); the Southwest Hennepin Drug Task Force (148); the Lake Superior Drug and Violent Crime Task Force (114); the Shakopee Police Department (104); and the Wright County Sheriff’s Office (103). (pg. 10) • In 2016, vehicles accounted for 59 percent of property seized, followed by cash at 28 percent, firearms at 11 percent, and other property at 1 percent.5 (pg. 10) • The most common criminal activities leading to seizure, forfeiture, and final disposition of property in 2016 were controlled substance and DUI-related, accounting for 94 percent of the forfeitures. Forfeitures involving a controlled substance accounted for 3,455, or 49 percent, of reported forfeitures, while DUI-related forfeitures accounted for 3,143, or 45 percent, of reported forfeitures. The remaining forfeitures involved fleeing (194), prostitution (119), “other” crimes (35), robbery/theft (31), weapons (28), assault (24), and burglary (19). (pg. 12) • For 2016, 139 agencies reported that they did not process any property under the criminal forfeiture statutes, compared to 151 in 2015. (pg. 15) • The Cosmos Police Department, Minnesota Financial Crimes Task Force and the Prairie Island Indian Community Police failed to provide information to the Office of the State Auditor regarding their forfeiture activity in 2016. (pg. 15) 1The term “completed forfeitures” used in this report means a final action has been taken on the property, such as being sold, destroyed, forwarded to another agency, returned to owner, or other types of dispositions. 2The remaining 2,668 completed forfeitures involved property returned, property destroyed, and other types of dispositions that did not result in proceeds. 3These costs represent the payment of seizure, storage, forfeiture, and sale expenses; satisfaction of valid liens against the property; and court-ordered restitution (Minn. Stat. § 609.5315, subd. 4). 4Net proceeds do not equal the gross proceeds minus administrative expenses/lienholder obligations because when expenses exceed the gross proceeds, the net proceeds available for distribution are shown as zero. 5Vehicles include ATVs, boats, motorcycles, and snowmobiles. Due to rounding, the sum of the percentages is less than 100 percent. 1 This page left blank intentionally Scope and Methodology Under Minnesota law, property associated with designated criminal offenses may be forfeited. Minn. Stat. § 609.5315, subd. 6, directs the appropriate agency to report to the Office of the State Auditor property seized subject to forfeiture after final disposition. In 2010, the Legislature revised a number of statutes that authorize the seizure and forfeiture of property. The statutory changes, among other things, expanded the scope of information that must be reported to the Office of the State Auditor. Additionally, the reporting requirements are now linked to a broader range of forfeitures, including those involving driving under the influence (DUI), game and fish violations, off-road vehicle violations, gambling, and racketeering. The forfeitures presented in this report only reflect property forfeited under state statutes. Property forfeited under federal statutes is reported to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and can be found on the DOJ website at http://www.justice.gov/afp. Information reported to the Office of the State Auditor includes the amount forfeited, the statutory authority for the forfeiture, the disposition date, a brief description of the circumstances involved, whether the forfeiture was contested, and the final disposition of the property. For controlled substance and driving while impaired forfeitures, the report must indicate

  • The First Century of Gmc Truck History Compiled by Donald E
    THE FIRST CENTURY OF GMC TRUCK HISTORY COMPILED BY DONALD E. MEYER INTRODUCTION GMC has been and is now one of the most successful of the pioneers in the manufacture and sales of commercial motor vehicles. The GMC brand is one of few of the original makes that have survived into the 21st century. The reputation of GMC truck quality, value, dependability and performance and the resulting user brand loyalty originated with the first roots of GMC products. It has been said that the roots of GMC Trucks go back to the 3 Rs of early truck development: Rapid, Reliance and Randolph. Truly, the first GMC trucks were Rapid or Reliance trucks with GMC nameplates. However, Randolph trucks apparently had little or no influence on GMC design. We start with the earliest root, the Rapid motor truck. CHAPTER 1: 1900 - 1919 1900 Max and Morris Grabowsky formed the Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Co. in Detroit. They started building a commercial truck prototype with a single cylinder horizontal engine, 2-speed planetary transmission and chain drive with a seat over the engine. Top speed was 10 mph and capacity was 1-ton. 1901 The Grabowsky brothers completed their first truck but while testing it found it to be under powered. They then began building a second truck powered by a 15 hp 2-cylinder horizontally opposed engine with a drivetrain similar to the protoype. 1902 Grabowsky brothers reorganized and formed Rapid Motor Vehicle Company. They sold that second truck to American Garment Cleaning Co. It probably was the first gasoline powered commercial vehicle on the streets of Detroit.

  • Why Trucks Jump: Offshoring and Product Characteristics
    Why Trucks Jump: Offshoring and Product Characteristics∗ Phillip McCalmany Alan Spearotz University of Melbourne University of California - Santa Cruz May 2013 Abstract In this paper, we study the role of vertical product differentiation in the decision to allocate production between domestic and foreign plants. To do so, we examine the first wave of light-truck offshoring to Mexico that occurred due to substantially lower post-NAFTA trade barriers and a coincident increase in US demand for light trucks. In contrast to the typical assumption, but similar to many other industries, the need for additional capacity was accommodated by investment in both the US and Mexico for the same models of light trucks. Using a new dataset that details the extent of offshoring and domestic production within models, we document sharp differences in how capacity was utilized. Specifically, within models, we find that automakers offshored varieties which tend to be older in design vintage, lower scale, and less complex to produce. In contrast, we find that varieties \inshored" to newer capacity in the US exhibit the opposite characteristics. This highlights the important role of vertical differentiation and the associated variation in production complexity for the sorting of production across borders. A product with a large degree of vertical differentiation may provide scope for a firm to maximize profits by \inshoring" the more complex varieties while offshoring the less complex versions. Key Words: Intra-industry trade, offshoring, trade liberalization, quality JEL Classifications: F12, F14, F23 ∗Outstanding research assistance from Sean Tanoos and financial support from the UC Center for Energy and Envi- ronmental Economics and the UCSC Committee on Research are gratefully acknowledged.
