Slipping Through the Cracks

Events happen with such haste in Mark Dayton’s Banana Republic that every now and then one slips through the cracks of my otherwise comprehensive reporting.

In late 2013, Mark Dayton’s MNsure health insurance exchange awarded a series of “outreach grants” to local community groups in the state.  One such group receiving a $50,000 grant in December 2013 was the Minneapolis-based Confederation of Somali Community in Minnesota. 

Around the time the group was receiving the grant (based on an earlier application), board member Mohamud Noor was named as the group’s new leader.  As you know, Noor serves on the Minneapolis School Board and has twice run (unsuccessfully) for the Democrat nomination to serve in the state legislature.

In the future, I'll try to keep up.
