According to Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Senate candidate
and not-so-funny funny-man Al Franken has to pay a fine for not
paying for worker's comp. It's ironic, since he's been courting
unions with the claim that he wants to increase workplace
safety.
The $25,000 judgment filed against Alan Franken
Inc.,
was filed on May 29, 2007 - over four months after Franken
announced he was running for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota.
Franken had time to resolve this matter before the judgement was
filed, as on August 8, 2006,
Alan Franken Inc was issued a "Final Notice" from the State of
New York Workers' Compensation Board for "Failure
to Carry Workers' Comp InsÂ
6/29/2002-03/28/2005."
Public records indicate that no payment was made.
Granted, the employees of Al Franken Inc. must not wear hardhats,
but I think they're entitled to company-provided earplugs.
