Talk:Mary Kiffmeyer

Untitled
I tagged this article with an NPOV for several reasons: ofsevit
 * It needs much more sourcing.
 * It makes it seem like it was due to Kiffmeyer that voter turnout increased. Unless that can be sourced, it should be deleted.
 * It makes no mention of Kiffmeyer's actions to try to suppress student voting (can't find a link but I remember a hoo-hah about this)
 * Basically, Mary Kiffmeyer was not well regarded by voting rights groups, but this is downplayed in the article, especially the last few lines of it.

Kiffmeyer was given the highest ranking by Common Cause after every election. You are giving random opinion without any source, and this comming from someone complaining that "Unless that can be sourced, it should be deleted."! Also, "remember a hoo-hah about this" is not a source, and random attacks such as "try to suppress student voting" should not be included. --Echoshoes (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I added info on the recent report by the Legislative Auditor on financial irregularities. I tried to keep strictly to that report, and stay NPOV. If Kiffmeyer eventually responds to the charges in this report, her response should probably be added here. T-bonham 21:18, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone keeps removing anything critical of Madame Secretary, even when backed by sources. Other politicians have done the same thing, and have gotten bad press for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.190.154.238 (talk) 04:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

"After she left office, a routine report on her office for 2005 and 2006 by the Legislative Auditor concluded that she overpaid herself and her staff by at least $190,000."

This is false, she was not paid any part of that $190,000.

"So far, Kiffmeyer has declined to comment on the Auditors Report."

Kiffmeyer has since responded to these issues so this is not accurate.

If you don't want your posts removed then post accurate information.--Echoshoes (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * As the Sources say, she did get reimbursed in excess of what was allowed, for many trips from Big Lake, rather than her office. Do not washwash that. Removing sourced material and other editor's comments here is vandalism.

The way it is currently listed is correct. Reverting back to less information because it is biased toward your point of view is not helpful to readers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Echoshoes (talk • contribs) 03:12, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality tag
This entry was tagged by user Ryan Vesey on March 25, 2011, with a template questioning the content neutrality and citing discussion on the talk page as the basis for this tag. As all the commentary on the talk page is from November 2007, tagging it several years after numerous subsequent edits have been made is somewhat curious. No current commentary on the talk page backs up tagging the entry at this point. While the entry has several issues in its current form, including the informational organization and flow, the biggest concern seems to be citing additional references to back up the content, which would justify the "citation needed" flag being used in several locations.

As is commonly the case with this left-wing organization, Democrat politicians and Republican politicians don't have the same standards. Throughout the article its very snippy -- hostile to the Republican lady. Whereas the current entry for Democrat Secretary of the State of Connecticut is scrubbed of any mention of criticism -- very peculiar since Denise Merrill is as some would say, crooked as a country road. All I ask is for just a single standard. Is that asking too much? --75.130.91.73 (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
