Bachmann Exposed: Day 3

As Bachmann refuses to disclose total amount of money received, DFLer calls on her to return state funding

St. Paul (May 20, 2010) - With Rep. Michele Bachmann still under fire for taking tens of thousands of dollars in funding from government programs like those that she has criticized as being "socialized medicine," Minnesotans are calling on her to return the funding she censured.

"As one of the country's most right-wing members who rails against funding for vital services, it's disrespectful and offensive to those of us in Minnesota's sixth district that Rep. Bachmann doesn't even practice what she preaches," said Circle Pines resident, Cathy Harrison. "Since Michele Bachmann has no problem criticizing government programs in order to earn Tea Party points, she should reimburse the state and taxpayers for the money that her family's clinic received. That $27,564 could be put to use in another struggling health-care facility whose operators - and those they serve - are grateful for the help."
