Minnesota Reps connected to Abramoff?

I thought I heard that Screech Kennedy and Karpetbagger Kline had taken $ from Abramoff - can anyone confirm?
Any sign of The Teeth From Brooklyn being tied to any of this?

1. I was curious too and did a search

Looks like only Gutknecht got money and it was back in 1996. I think it was only $250
Just google abramoff +minnesota

3. Kennedy

Screech Kennedy certainly had closer ties to Abramoff than a fair number of Reps. We need to keep reminding voters of that no matter how many lobbying reforms Kennedy introduces to try and cover his past.
