Minnesota GOP threatened with eviction at headquarters--hasn't paid rent since August

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.

“We’re 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.”
