Letter: Attack Ad on Kirk Stensrud is False

To the Editor:

I’m writing in regards to an attack ad on Representative Kirk Stensrud. The ad repeats a lie this special interest group has used across Minnesota with claims that media outlets have investigated and found to be false.

The fact is, as reported by WCCO television on September 17, 2012, that 32 percent of Minnesota homeowners saw reduced property taxes last year. Homeowners are expected to see another decrease this year according to a report by the nonpartisan House Fiscal Department.

I hoped that we could make it thru the election year without false smears against local candidates. These ads against Kirk with “facts” so untrue that even WCCO had to call them out for lying mean my hopes are dashed.

I would urge anyone who wants to know where Kirk Stensrud stands to visit his website, www.kirk4rep.com. Next time you see one of these ads that lies about his record, do yourself a favor and change the channel.

Sincerely,

Kim Stender
