Email a Senator over this? That's absurd! This is a local issue if ever there was one.

Rule #1: All politics is local.

Contacting Sen. Dayton directly about this issue is perfectly acceptable and is very likely the most effective approach possible. His election was almost entirely due to the reputation of his family's stores and the profits made from them, and he is still employed at the pleasure of the electorate. He doesn't need this kind of grief and is in a perfect position to make this whole situation go away.

His election was DIRECTLY due to his family fortune via the Dayton/Hudson/Target/Marshall-Fields empire. He spent millions of his own money on the campaign as he has done in the past for a minor post in Minnesota state government and a failed gubernatorial election.
