The cash-strapped Republican Party of Minnesota has been served eviction papers at its St. Paul headquarters.
State Republican Party Chairman Pat Shortridge notified GOP activists late last week that the party had not paid rent since last August. He said negotiations with the building owner did not prevent the landlord from taking the matter to court.
Were not going to be evicted, Shortridge said. He added that they are continuing to negotiate on the back payments as well as on a lease that better fits both our space needs and our budget.
The possible eviction is the latest blow for a state Republican Party that has been swamped with debt and financial problems for more than a year. Along with being more than $1 million in debt, state Republicans are being investigated by the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board for inaccurate campaign reporting.

Perhaps their rent money is going to attorneys fees instead.

And here's a meme that will get you off the hook, take a big breath and repeat after me...
It's Scott Walker's fault. His out-of-state fund-raising to fight the WI recalls is sucking up all the available money.
