MN's gov pulled all tax increases. Repubs reject even that. It's not about the budget.
Minneapolis KSTP News reported at noon that Dayton took his tax proposal off the table. (I thought I heard it wrong. The reporter thankfully repeated it.) That would be a victory for Republicans. But rather than avoid a shutdown Republicans went for abortion stem-cell bans, and the rest of their policy agenda.
Pawlenty is in MN praising republicans for not compromising. He wishes his shutdown had been longer than 9 days, because he could have gotten more concessions. We may be in for a long one this time...
"In the end, Republicans and Dayton weren’t only separated by fiscal issues. Republicans apparently were still loading bills with other goodies from their platform. In the final days of negotiations, Republicans were still insisting on legislation supporting voter ID and restrictions on abortion and stem cell research in their talks with Dayton... Even as the shutdown of Minnesota government had begun, the principal anti-abortion lobby, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, continued to push its agenda."
How about some concern for the lives of MN's citizens!

Are they the cheeseheads? No, no, that's Wisconsin, right? Then what's Minnesota? If they did disappear off the map, would anyone know?

Well, it kind of did. Last night, Obama got in on the action, and now Minnesota is broken up into 8 smaller states.

Minnesota is a big dairy state like Wisconsin, only without a decent football team.
I like cheese! :-)

Some facts.
The republican legislature increased the government budget by 6%. Since the Obama Regime says there is no inflation, hasn't given a social security COLA since he has been office this is 3 time what our GDP growth is. Sounds reasonable to me.
The donk governor wants a 26% increase in the government budget and that would accordingly mean that taxes HAVE TO BE RAISED. Sounds unreasonable to me.
Of those two which side in in reality and which side is in full class warfare, destroy the state mode?
Jukin predicts that the donk will cave and have much egg on his face....as he should.
