    62-CV-17-3396 Filed in Second Judicial District Court 6/5/2017 12:23:54 PM Ramsey County, MN STATE OF MINNESOTA DISTRICT COURT COUNTY OF RAMSEY SECOND JUDICIAL DISTRICT Association for Government Accountability, Petitioner, Case Type: Civil v. Court File No.____________ Myron Frans in his Official Capacity as Commissioner of Management and Budget as a agency of the Executive Branch of the State of Minnesota; Minnesota House of Representatives Budget and Accounting Office, and Minnesota Senate Fiscal Services Department, Respondents. PETITION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS INTRODUCTION The Petitioner Association for Government Accountability, a government watch-dog association, seeks an order from this Court to direct the Commissioner of Management and Budget to pay the Minnesota state legislators their respective salaries of $45,000 as prescribed by the Legislative Salary Council, mandated by the Minnesota Constitution. The Minnesota House of Representatives Budget and Accounting Office, and Minnesota Senate Fiscal Services Department are interested parties since the moneys for salaries are paid through these legislative departments. 62-CV-17-3396 Filed in Second Judicial District Court 6/5/2017 12:23:54 PM Ramsey County, MN During last year’s election, a state constitutional amendment was enacted that created a Legislative Salary Council which established the base salary of state legislators at $45,000, effective on July 1, 2017. Under Minnesota law, the State’s Constitution mandates the funding of constitutional prerogatives of elected officials. Here, the prerogative arises from a constitutional amendment about legislator salaries. Governor Dayton, with his recent line- item veto of funding for the legislative branch of government, brings the issue of funding prerogatives to the forefront and to the brink of a state constitutional crisis.

Although results are not final until certified by the State Canvassing Board, possibly next week, Drazkowski (R-Wabasha) garnered 3,762 votes, or 52.89 percent, to defeat Linda Pfeilsticker, who received 3,333 votes. An additional 18 write-in votes were cast. House Minority Leader Marty Seifert (R-Marshall) said Wednesday that no date has been set for the official swearing-in ceremony. Drazkowski will fill the seat vacated by Rep. Steve Sviggum. The former Republican House Speaker resigned in June after Gov. Tim Pawlenty appointed him Department of Labor and Industry commissioner. Because Sviggum held seats on several powerful House committees, including Finance and Ways and Means, there may be “shuffling of committee assignments” among more senior House Republicans, Seifert said. Drazkowski, an agriculture educator and cable contractor, said while he is open to any committee assignment, he is interested in serving on the agriculture committee. Drazkowski’s contact information will be 651-296-2273 or [email protected]. He is expected to take over Sviggum’s former office at 247 State Office Building.

  • The Man Who Did Too Much Steve Sviggum Has Been in Public Office Most of His Life
    The man who did too much Steve Sviggum has been in public office most of his life. But last month he was again forced to choose between two jobs he was passionate about. By Kevin Burbach In an old hay shed 40 miles outside of St. Paul, Steve Sviggum stood boot-deep in cow manure on a grey Saturday morning, wrestling a three-week-old calf with a broken leg. He was gentle but firm as he handled the small cow and explained the passion he and his brothers have to help the calf survive. Steve Sviggum feeds hay to his cattle Saturday morning at a farm Less than 24 hours earlier, Sviggum roamed the halls of the near his home in Kenyon, Minn. In state Capitol, shaking hands with almost everyone he addition to working as communications director for the encountered — with the same approachable attitude he’s Minnesota Senate Republican Caucus, Sviggum grows corn and had since he came into state politics more than 30 years raises cattle with his two brothers. ago. Both scenes star the same man that was the subject of much criticism and controversy for almost a year as he twice wrestled with the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents over potential conflicts of interest before resigning in early March. It’s his desire to serve his community and state that Sviggum and those who have worked with him say drives him to continue to work in public service and often causes him to take on numerous — and what many have said are unmanageable — obligations.
