hear, hear. That is one reason why I never moved back to Minn. They started to tax the military when you weren't even living there. doug ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Larry & Nancy Baldwin" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: FW: [MINNESOTA] Forwarded Mail To List Date: Thu, 9 May 2002 09:49:37 -0500 The opinions from heidi and WdnThings are probabaly why they don't want politics included in Rootsweb and genealogy forums. Just because a man knows how to be charming, doesn't mean he is good at anything else. He just knows how to be charming. Roger Moe's love of taxes as the Head of the Senate for 20 years, is why Minnesota is the FOURTH highest taxed state in the US. Please invite him to come live in Oregon. We don't need him here. Now let's stick to genealogy, please.

A few days ago, someone posted a message about Roger Moe on the Norway list. So having Moe's in my family line, I looked this man up and gave him a call. He wasn't home, so I left a message. I got busy with spring cleaning and such and forgot to call him back. This evening(Wednesday) he called me! We talked for about 20 minutes, in that time I found I was not related to this line of MOE's(shucks!). But rather than just writing me off and saying his good-bye's, this kind gentleman stayed on the phone with me just like a "regular Joe" would. He helped me with my other side of the family. And even just chatted for a minute! He didn't even ask how I got his name until the call was about over. Considering this man is running for public office(Governor) in Minnesota, I thought it was very wonderful, not only for him to return my call, but to talk to me as though he had all the time in the world! I wish he were running for office here in Oregon!! if he was, I think I'd be ! helping him with his campaign. I was very impressed! I have been to many State Capital's across the Country and phoned a few congress people etc., as a child and as an adult. I've never had any of them ever treat me so well, as a child or as a adult(voter).
