Charges of Discrimination against Minneapolis Television Network (MTN)



On Tuesday, February 24, 2009, V-Media General Manager and MTN Board candidate Don Allen filed a claim of discrimination with the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights against Minneapolis Television Network. (Case #09-05532-BD-1A)

"In a good faith effort I approached MTN again because they were planning their 25th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser. A no-charge, I presented one of my firm’s clients to them to hold the event with only food costs which were priced at $1000.00. The alternative for the event would have cost MTN over $5000.00, not to mention the fee for press and promotion the network received. In the July 2009 meeting, Pam Colby, Executive Director of MTN asked who my firm has worked with. Naming some GOP-related collaborations, Ms. Colby looked at me and said, “This meetings over! Because of the people you’re affiliated with we can’t do business and you’re a Republican!”" Read the full story at www.ibnn.org.
