Records as of last summer showed him owning at least three houses: one valued at $667,000 in Shakopee, another at $205,000 in New Prague and the third, in Minneapolis, at $320,000.
He’s also owned an Escalade and a Hummer.
Okay, well based on some quick math, he didn’t really spend that much on strippers. He did, however, do his part to help out the ailling American auto industry, so really, I can’t fault him for any of his behavior.

The original Strib article merely referenced thousands of dollars in charges at “downtown nightclubs,” the PiPress at the same time said strip clubs.

I would have an Escalade if it weren’t for strippers… Ooops. Perhaps I’ve said too much.

Shakopee? New Prague? Escalade? Hummer? Forget embezzlement…this guy is guilty of having no imagination whatsoever. The crime here is being boring.

Maybe he was trying keep a low profile.

So here’s my question: Okay, what happens once they retrieve as much of the stolen money as they can (selling the house and car etc). So, the school is closed, does the money go back into the public education system? Or do the police just keep it? Maybe they give a bit of money to each parent and teacher of the school, as they are all victims?

Or, maybe you haven’t said enough.

As for the headline: Even my friends with kids would probably say: “Duh”.

As opposed to the imagination required to live in a studio apartment in Seward and ride your bike to the coop to buy organic, sustainable produce…’cause nobody does that!
