MN Budget Is Too Big To Succeed – Why Emmer’s Gonna Win
You couldn’t ask for a better lineup for the 2010 Minnesota Governor’s race. On one side you have Republican Tom Emmer who says ‘enough is enough’, while everyone else in the race believes that Government just needs more money, that there’s no more room to cut.
Well, if this doesn’t shine another light into another skeleton filled closet full of Government waste, I don’t know what does.
MN to spend $62M on prime office space in ’10
A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS investigation found the State of Minnesota will spend millions this year to lease prime office space, despite the availability of less expensive options.
Some of the poshest office space includes buildings with views of Lake Superior in Duluth, Hazeltine National in Chaska and St. Paul’s Mears Park.
In Duluth, the state will pay $2.3 million over the next few years to rent offices in Canal Park for the Pollution Control Agency and the Department of Labor.
Continue reading this one, because it apparently makes perfect sense to store office supplies in top dollar executive office space with a great view.
The DFL Taxing Trio plus the IP’s supposedly reformed Republican who thinks we need to just raise some more revenue for the state, are all going into the election season with the exact same campaign agenda flaw. That Government is capable of taking as much money as it needs.
Well folks, there’s a peaceful revolution taking place in Minnesota and America. Its not fought with actual weapons, but with passion and facts. Our economy is in shambles because of Government. Intervention, blind eyes turned for donors, confiscatory taxation based on political axes to grind, and restrictive and oppressive mandates.
The public understands that just a little more government isn’t going to reverse the trend that was started by big government in the first place. The public now understands that poll tested and focus grouped code words like ‘shared sacrifice’ ‘social justice’ are actually just distractions from the failed policies of Government first politicians and bureaucrats.
There’s only one candidate in the race that isn’t afraid to say the problem with state government’s budget is state government spending. The public sees this. That is Tom Emmer.
