July 19th, 1972
Determination 3: Mary Jane Rachner v. Union Advocate
Complaint: Mary Jane Rachner, a candidate in the 1972 elections for St. Paul School Board, complained that the newspaper was unfair and discriminatory when it refused to accept her paid political advertisement. The Union Advocate is a weekly serving primarily organized labor in the greater St. Paul area. Rachner was not a labor-endorsed candidate and did not claim to be in her ad.
