Chaudhary to meet with local DFL leaders
DFL party officials in Senate District 50 have called a special meeting Thursday night to hear from state Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, DFL-Fridley.
They want to know more about Chaudhary's self-described "major league screw up," involving legislation to restrict fishing on the northern Minnesota lake where he owns a cabin.
Chaudhary pressed the House author of a fish and game bill to add the provision just before its passage near the end of the 2010 session. Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed the bill this week, and he listed the Chaudhary provision among the bill's problems.
Senate Republicans asked last week for an ethic panel inquiry into the matter.
William Krueger, the DFL chair in Senate District, said he called the Thursday meeting in response to questions raised by central committee members. The meeting begin at 7:00 p.m. tomorrow night at the Fridley Community Center.
