For example, that the reduction in veterans homelessness in the area was attributable to state-led efforts which is demonstrably false.

Don Allen says, “I welcome the opportunity to talk to Chris about issues inside and outside the MNGOP, which I know well. The spineless backing out of the radio interview show’s he’s not ready for prime time as MNGOP chairman. This should send a major message to delegates of the MNGOP.
