More whack job Republican behavior in Minnesota. A GOP endorsed candidate for Minnesota Legislature is being sued by a neighbor for taking a power saw to that neighbor's garage over a property dispute.
From the Duluth News Tribune.
Roger Weber of rural Nashwauk is being sued by Mark Besemann of Iron after Weber used a power saw to bisect the building. Weber then removed half of the garage he insists was built, decades ago, on property that he now owns.
Besemann is suing Weber for $20,000 in damage to the garage and $20,000 in punitive damages. Besemann also is seeking a small portion of Weber’s land adjacent to the garage to act as a buffer to any additional actions Weber might take.

Weber is the Republican endorsed candidate for Minnesota House District 6A.
He is running against DFL Incumbent Representative Carly Melin, one of my favorite legislators. Weber faces an uphill battle in the solidly blue Iron Range area.
Weber's action is the logical progression of the Tea Party's selfish behavior and unwillingness to work people with differing viewpoints. What's next? --Duels?
This lawsuit is another headache for the Minnesota GOP with such scandals as Michelle MacDonald, GOP endorsed candidate for Supreme Court, who was recently convicted of DUI and banned from the GOP State Fair Booth.
And don't forget, the GOP Minnesota State Auditor candidate is also having some issues.
These scandals are taking attention away from the GOP slate of Candidates, including races for US Senate and Governor.
