| One of the primary firms serving Norm Coleman's reelection campaign is FLS Connect -- I wrote about them some time ago. They share an address in St. Paul with Coleman's campaign, and have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees from Coleman's coffers.
FLS is closely linked with DCI, the same firm that's involved with the Myanmar junta.
Yep, that's right -- FLSConnect.com is registered to an entity called "FLS-DCI" located in Oakdale, MN. Sourcewatch indicates that those first three letters stand for "Feather Larson Synhorst" -- Synhorst refers to the chairman of DCI, Thomas Synhorst, and Sourcewatch notes one of their specialties: "creating phony front groups to make it appear as if there's a groundswell of support for its clients' issues."
Really now.
So, it's no small wonder that Norm Coleman doesn't want to return that money. One has to wonder how many cookie jars in which we're going to find these guys' hands. |
