Well, by the bored and annoyed looks on the commissioners faces, I’d say they already have their minds made up which way they will go. Which maybe is a good thing due to the number of testimonies FOR the sales tax increase tonight. (shudder)

Those testimonies were probably from all those contractors who will get the “new jobs”.
And don’t worry, Anoka County is just as bad. We only have 2 fiscally responsible people on our board.
