GENERAL ORDERS

TUESDAY, MAY 15, .197954th Day]

Patton moved that S. F. No. 1128 be recalled from the Com-mittee on Governmental Operations and together withH. F. No.1192, now on Technical General Orders, be referred to the Chie~Clerk for comparison. The motion prevailed. .

Sherwood moved that the House conferees on H. F. No. 13 bedischarged, that' new conferees be appointed on the part of theHouse, that the Speaker shall appoint 2 members and the Chair-man of the Committee on Rules and Legislative Administrationshall appoint 2 members ,to the Conference Committee, and thatthe Senate be requested to discharge its Conference Committeeand appoint new conferees. The motion prevailed.

Halberg moved that H. F. No. 1094 be recalled from the Com-mittee on Local and 'Urban Affairs and be re-referred to theCommittee on Taxes. The motion prevailed.

We believe that these actions were injurious to Rep. Pavlakand further that his rights to due process and equal protectio:nof the law so stated under the 14th amendment of the UnitedStates Constitution have been denied.

We, the undersigned members of the Minnesota House ofRepresentatives, submit this petition of protest and dissent tobe entered in the Journal of the House.

We are protesting- and dissenting the action taken by. the DFLmembers of the House in two cases. First, we protest and dis""sent against the motion to require the House Committee on Gen-eral Legislation and Veterans Affairs to meet and report by6 :00 p.m. Wednesday, May 16 on the election contest of Rep.Robert Pavlak and to further request the full house to act at6 :00 p.m. Wednesday, May 16 whether or not the committee hasacted. Second, we protest and dissent the motion offered by Rep.Irv Anderson and Rep. Harry· Sieben forbidding Rep. Pavlakfrom voting on any substantive or procedural votes relative tothe issue of his election contest. This motion was ill-conceived inthat it overruled the Speaker of the House who had earlierstated that he would rule upon Rep. Pavlak's eligibility to votein these cases.

Report of the Committee on the matter of Election Contest ofRobert Pavlak, Contestee and James Scheibel et aI, Contestants:

Swanson, from the Committee on General Legislation andVeterans Affairs, having considered the Pavlak Election Con-test which was referred to it by the House of Representatives,made the following report: no recommendation.

Anderson, I., moved that further proceedings of the roll callbe dispensed with and that the Sergeant at Arms be instructedto bring in the absentees. The motion prevailed and it was soordered.

The hour of 10 :30 a.m. having arrived, the· matter containedin the Anderson, I., and Sieben, H., motion which was adoptedby the House on Monday, May 14, 1979 and amended on Wednes-daY,·May 16,1979, was reported to the House.

We, the undersigned, being a minority of the Committee onGeneral Legislation and Veterans Affairs, make the followingreport on its findings, conclusions and recommendations withl:~gard to the Pavlak-Kempe election contest case: strike thereport of the Committee on General Legislation and VeteransAffairs and substitute the following:

by motion, to the Committee on General Legislation and Veter-ans Affairs.

A bi-partisan delegation of committee members personallyvisited with Contestee, Robert Pavlak, and received his state-ment and answers to their questions, all of which was transcribedand made part of the record of the committee.

The Temporary Restraining Order was vacated May 16, 1979at 10 :15 a.m. by unanimous order of the Minnesota SupremeCourt and, thereupon, the committee recon.vened at 11 :30 A.M.on May 16, 1979 at which time the Contestee's evidence wassubmitted.

2575FRIDAY,MAY 18, 1979

Thereafter, at 7 :15 P.M. on May 15, 1979,the committee re-convened for the presentation of the Contestee's evidence byhis counsel. The hearing was delayed by Mr. O'Neill's service,upon the chairman, of an ex parte Temporary Restraining Or-der issued by Otis H. Godfrey, a Judge of the Ramsey CountyDistrict Court.

Based upon the evidence adduced at the foregoing public hear-ings, the transcripts and exhibits from the trial court and Su-preme Court, the briefs of counsel to the Supreme Court, thetranscript of Contestee's statement and the Opinion of the Min-nesota Supreme Court, the undersigned find, conclude anddetermine as follows:

The committee reconvened on May 17, 1979 at 9 :15 A.M. atwhich time copies of the exhibits from the Supreme Court werereceived and distributed to the committee members along withthe transcript of Mr. Pavlak's statement, after which counselfor the Contestants opened the argument and closed the sameafter the Contestee had been heard. Each counsel stated thatthere was no additional data that he had to bring before thecommittee.

At the same time the parties were called and appearedthrough their respective counsel, Alan W. Weinblatt for Con-testants and Patrick H. O'Neill for the Contestee and their ap-pearances were recorded. Contestants, through their counsel,submitted their evidence.

An initial meeting of the committee was held on Tuesday,May 15, 1979, commencing at 10 :15 A.M. At that time, the com-mittee received the records of the election contest includingtranscripts of the trial court, .the decision of the~trial judge,the briefs, papers and records in the Supreme Court and theFactual and Legal Conclusions of the Supreme Court and itsOpinion.

FINDINGS OF FACT


The above editorial was discussed by Robert Pavlak with hiscampaign manager and 6,000 reprints of the editorial were pre:..pared on November 4, 1978. Prior to reprinting the editorial,the portion, thereof which contained the fal;;e statement wasencircled to highlight it.

Contestee,.Robert l?avh,W,.havillg served as. a member of theHouse of Representativ~sduriIlg the legislative.sessions of 1967,1969, 1971 the extra.~ess~9:I1 o~1971 and the 1973-74 session,was familiar with the quantity of roll call votes taken duringa legislative session.

FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1979

We, the undersigned, upon the foregoing findiIlgs of fact, fitiq,conclude and determine that: '

The deliberate" serious and material violation b~Robert Pav-lak of the MinnesotaJr~irCampaig:n"I>ractices Act. -w3:s not.withrespect to a trivial or uhimportant matter; was not committedwithout the knowledge, of the candidate and was not c,ommittedin good faith. It is therefore not unjust or unlawfui that RobertPavlak should forfeit the office.

RECOMMENDATIONS

XIII

The distribution by Contestee of the editorial reprint contain-ing :th~, false. siatementwas/a,deliberate, serious ,and,materialviolation of, Minnesota Statutes Section 210A.04, a part ofl\iin~nesota Election Law.

, Th~ "reprinting land' distribution by' Robellt ;Paviak and hiscampaign committee of the false statement was designed-to-andtended to eleGtRobert PI:I-vlak and defeat Arnold Kempe, bothcandidates for election to the office of State Representative fromDistrict 67A.

IX

XI

Contestee, Robert Pavlak, provided the original research onArnold Kempe's voting'record from, which the editorial waswritten to William G. Sumner, editor of the St. Paul Dispatch...Pioneer Press. The editorial cited Pavlak's research report asbeing the source o~its statement. Robert Pavlak knew that, asstated, the statement tbat,.,,"We have. seen nothing to disputehis research report that shows Kempevot~d4 times in.1967-68-,-this out of more than 300 opportunities.", was false, but reprint-ed and distributed it anyway•.

Testimony before the District Court was that at least 1,800to 1,900 reprints of the editorial were distributed. Robert Pav-lak told the committee that all of his campaign brochures weredistributed.

The false statement was with respect to the personal and po-litical character and acts of Arnold Kempe. '
