Quite ironic that Ellison wanted and received the finance committee when the guy can't even keep his own finances straight. The guy does not pay his own income taxes or parking violations and he wants oversight in finances. What a joke. It is such a shame that such a dignified representative gets replaced by someone who craves the limelight and partisianship. His actions will (if not already) reflect poorly on the 5th District.
