[Mpls] Campaign law questions

[Corinne Becker]

I got a call from Rybak’s campaign on Thursday and I have a couple of
questions for someone who knows about campaign rules.  First, I was
surprised to find that I had a call from Meshbesher and Spence on my
caller ID.  The phone number was 339-9122, which is from this company.
   Does Rybak have to pay for using this company’s resources?  Aren't
companies suppose to stay out of elections?

Second, does anyone know why a law firm is supporting Rybak?

Third, I have an unlisted phone number.  I simply never give it out.
I am a DFL delegate but never gave my phone number to the DFL.   Now I
did call the Mayor’s Office to ask about Rybak’s mailing that he did
back in January.  That is the only place I can think his campaign
could have gotten my phone number.  Is it legal for the Mayor to
“harvest” phone numbers from people who call him for legitimate city
purposes and use them for campaign purposes?

Any experts on campaigns out there?  I got yet another call tonight.
