Hey, I Wrote That!
Posted by Andy on March 2nd, 2008
I had a letter to the editor in the Strib this weekend.
The state of Minnesota is collecting record amounts of revenue. Transportation is just a political football. House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and the DFL legislators have more taxpayer dollars at their disposal than ever before.
The only good reason to raise taxes to provide the desperately needed funding for our roads and bridges is that legislators blew their allowance already. The state has been collecting the money needed for transportation for decades. It’s just been squandering it away on just about everything but transportation.
Thanks to House Minority Leader Marty Seifert, Rep. Tom Emmer and the other 42 Republicans who opposed this bill for trying to bring accountability back to our state government. I have a strong feeling that Minnesota voters are watching the great money grab of ‘08 and will act accordingly in November.

I think Mr. O’Brien got his messages mixed. That one was sent in by me.
