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.

  • Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer
    Donald Trump Shoots the Match1 Sharon Mazer The day I realized it can be smart to be shallow was, for me, a deep experience. —Donald J. Trump (2004; in Remnick 2017:19) I don’t care if it’s real or not. Kill him! Kill him! 2 He’s currently President of the USA, but a scant 10 years ago, Donald Trump stepped into the squared circle, facing off against WWE owner and quintessential heel Mr. McMahon3 in the “Battle of the Billionaires” (WrestleMania XXIII). The stakes were high. The loser would have his head shaved by the winner. (Spoiler alert: Trump won.) Both Trump and McMahon kept their suits on—oversized, with exceptionally long ties—in a way that made their heads appear to hover, disproportionately small, over their bulky (Trump) and bulked up (McMahon) bodies. As avatars of capitalist, patriarchal power, they left the heavy lifting to the gleamingly exposed, hypermasculinist bodies of their pro-wrestler surrogates. McMahon performed an expert heel turn: a craven villain, egging the audience to taunt him as a clueless, elitist frontman as he did the job of casting Trump as an (unlikely) babyface, the crowd’s champion. For his part, Trump seemed more mark than smart. Where McMahon and the other wrestlers were working around him, like ham actors in an outsized play, Trump was shooting the match: that is, not so much acting naturally as neglecting to act at all. He soaked up the cheers, stalked the ring, took a fall, threw a sucker punch, and claimed victory as if he (and he alone) had fought the good fight (WWE 2013b).
