Farmers win refunds for Red Cross contributions in Minnesota
The Minnesota Leader reports refunds to farmers coerced into supporting the Red Cross by Vidian Vye and food administration agents. About 25 to 30 thousand dollars from McLeod and nearby counties will be repaid, with more in other counties to follow. Repayment of fines will come later, and legitimate expenses to be billed to the federal government.
