So why does it seem that no one wants to ask Amy Koch, if she is related to Koch Bros.?

1. She was named "Worst person in the world" tonight

and Keith did mention her last name and pretty much left it to his listeners to draw their own conclusions about who she may or may not be related to.

[glinda]

2. I saw that. Still, I want to see our media ask her on tape.

3. Is Koch her maiden name or

is it her husband's family name? Either way, if they were part of the Koch brothers family business I am sure we would know about it already. By the way, none of the local TV stations use video tape anymore.

[glinda]

4. "On tape" is a saying just like "on record". I have run tv cameras so I get it.

Koch is her married name. Researching her hubby comes up scrubbed.

5. I guess you might be right,

I've heard people refer to a refrigerator as an "icebox" too.

If Amy Kock or her husband were related to the Koch brothers, it would already have been reported. I am sure the newspaper and TV oolitical reporters looked into it at the time she was elected, or at least at the time she got the leadership position.

[glinda]

6. It would be her husband and no the media might not report it. Most of our

MN. media is conservative.

[glinda]

7. Husband is. Conservative MN. media would not ask it. It must be asked. She has several

conflicts of interest if the answer is yes.

14. Is Amy 'a Koch'?

I don't think that one can assume Minneapolis reporters would report it if her husband was a part of The koch family. The Twin Cities Press doesn't push Republicans very much.

15. There are not

that many billionaires in Minnesota, so I doubt if one could slide in under the radar.

8. Koch is not an uncommon German surname.

[Jenoch]

9. I agree,

there are a lot of things to criticize the Republican leadership for, Amy Koch's last name is nit one of them. If she was related to Koch Industries by marriage, we would already know it. I doubt if her husband was one of the Koch Industries Kochs she and her husband would be living in Buffalo, Minnesota. The 2 Koch brothers that own the business are estimated to be worth $19 Billion EACH.

10. Her husband I think had something to do with Cargill? Same Copany I think Koch's have something to

I may need to look it up again but her family also has a background in related services where she might hook up with a Koch.
I almost would put money on it that she is married to a cousin or something.

11. Her husband is Christopher Koch, who runs a training school for people who work on utilities.

I think you're reaching on this one.

[glinda]

13. He did something before that. Worked for some large Company. Utilities though....

No. I think he is related. Don't know how though.

[Jenoch]

12. I do not not know much about

Amy Koch's husband, but I do know that if you mean to say that there is some cross ownership between Koch and Cargill, you are mistaken. Koch Undustries and Cargill are the two largest privately owned businesses in the U.S. and also two of the largest family owned businesses in the world where the family is not also the head of state (Saudi Arabua, Brunie, etc.).
