1 Naw usually both sides are too busy trying to make the other side look bad. I heard way too much "Pawlenty did this" or the "DFL did that" to consider this a successful bipartisanship session. |

2 We elect these people on both sides to work together and come to agreement. More often than not, we get grandstanding and middle school bickering. In that case, the only ones that suffer are the citizens of this state. |

1 Typical Liberal remark! In reality, the Democrats must have finally decided to do their job and worked to TRY to get things done instead of just trying to make the Republicans look like the bad guys. Maybe they finally gave up trying to make Pawlenty break his tax pledge and looked at some other way to actually get something done. |

1 The DFLers caved in for one reason Light Rail!!!! The property appraisers of Ramsey County will never never never give you a reduction even in light of a disaster market. Coleman and his all girl revue will cheer that they made that mean Mr. Tim capitulate. Excuse me while I vomit on my 09 tax statement. |

I don't understand why the Legislature continues to interfere with property taxes. When Governor Ventura decided to start this in 2001 it marked the beginning of our budget deficits. Instead, why don't the legislators decide to trim back the welfare programs (did you know you can get child care assistance if you're a family of four with a $50,000 income?) to help the people who really need it, then you'll reduce what counties need to do. Then, and only then, will property taxes have a chance of being reduced.

1 The state Dems need to go. Pronto! They're doing more harm than good for the middle class here in Minnesota. |

1 Dude, it's only BECAUSE of the DFLers that we'll be able to work on the roads and bridges after this session. Pay attention. |

They say that those who don't know History are doomed to repeat it. Oddly, everybody knows that the MN legislature will always, always, always go into frantic overdrive the final day of the session - even if it is a Sunday. Where is the learning curve here?
Let's try to maintain a positive outlook: at least there was no need for calling a Special Session this time. Maybe they ARE learning! |

1 Even if we are the highest tax state, which we are not, at least we are not the dumbest state. |

1 Conservatives don't need the liberals to help them look bad, they do a fine job just by themselves. |

2 Most illogical, Mr. Spock. The top priority WAS fixing bridges and roads, which was fully addressed by the $6.6 billion gas tax amendment earlier in the session. The highest priority was addressed long before the lower-priority items that you list were decided. Should not the highest priority items be addressed first? That is only logical. You are allowing your Most Illogical Feelings to dictate your public responses, Mr. Spock. Please control those Feelings, and do not discredit Vulcan publicly again. |
