New Republican scandal. This time it's in Minnesota. |
The Knight Ridder Newspapers reported in July that New Access, which
has had business ties to Gov. Tim Pawlenty, state Auditor Patricia
Awada and other top GOP figures, had been accused of cheating
consumers in seven states.
It paid $222,000 to settle charges with Oregon, Washington and
Indiana.
The three states concluded that New Access wronged more than 5,600
people in 2001, either through overcharging or slamming.

Minnesota telephone company target of multi-state investigation
BY TIM HUBER AND RICK LINSK
Knight Ridder Newspapers
(KRT) - New Access Communications, the Minneapolis telephone company
that has had business ties to some of the state's most prominent
Republicans, is facing more trouble with state regulators.
Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch sued the company Monday for
allegedly violating civil fraud and consumer protection laws.
The company also is the target of a multi-state investigation, said
Lori Swanson, Minnesota solicitor general.
Minnesota is leading the investigation, according to officials in
Montana, one of the participants.

Sort of like AT&T and Sprint-Ameritech? BOTH that are run by
Dimmytwits and BOTH that have been fined over $500,000,000.00 for
slamming and not giving the customer the service they were paying for,
not to mention illegal fees and hikes they had to return according to
the US department Of Commerce and the Better Business Bureau?
Another day, another Dimmytwit disaster
