MN DFL: Republicans perennial push back

Pawlenty, DFL square off on taxes

Excerpt:

With the House and the Senate on the verge of passing $1.5 billion and $2.2 billion tax bills, respectively, Gov. Tim Pawlenty went on the offensive Thursday, calling the DFL's budget proposals "bad," "horrifically bad," "laughable," and "almost bizarre."

Proposals to raise taxes while cutting education and, in the House, eliminating a host of targeted deductions for homes and child care, shows "in rather dramatic fashion, just how out of touch they are," he said.

Comment: We've lived in Minnesota for 13 years and this happens almost every year. The DFL (Democrats) propose higher taxes and the Republican Governor pushes back. Imagine what it will be like with a DFL Governor.
