Showdown

The Minnesota legislature is rolling along, the house and senate have made numerous agreements, and the conference committee may be meeting as I type.  The budget of the legislature and the budget of the governor do not match up.  In the next 10 days or so, there will be some big big big budget bills on the governor's desk.  He has said he will veto the proposed tax bills, and that is how the other things in part are paid for!  A big budget deficit, a veto proof senate, and a not veto proof house, and very little discussion between branches of government.  What has happened to the values that has made Minnesota one of the most desirable places to live (even in spite of the weather!).  Oh it is has all the ingredients for not wanting to engage in politics.  Welcome back home.
