Proximity Alert, The Lobbyist Are Wandering the Capital, Tragedy Tax Imminent
Posted by Andy on August 27th, 2007
Your hard earned money is not safe if a special session is called.
Lobbyists already have been wandering the Capitol halls and hitting the BlackBerrys to push their pet issues.
Don’t do it Mr. Pawlenty.
Pawlenty does have broad executive powers to respond to the emergencies himself, even without input from the Legislature.
Especially when you have Jim ‘DFL en’ Abler on your side.
But Rep. Jim Abeler, R-Anoka, who supports the idea of a special session, said he hopes the urgency of the state’s needs will make agreement possible.
“The wish is for this tragedy to push for something to happen,” he said. “At some point, you’ve got to put down the politics and accomplish what the people think we’re working on.”
I wonder if the RINO Abler knows that Minnesotans don’t support a broad and ‘comprehensive’ special session, especially for light rail.
