Is morning Gov. Dayton spoke to a group at the University of Minnesota. He announced that he sent a letter to legislators with a budget proposal representing a compromise that he stated he did not like.
Regardless of your political affiliation, please take a few minutes and review the Governor's compromise proposal. Notice that once again a supposed accounting shift regarding school funding represents a large portion of the proposal. Previous state leaders hip have used the school funding delay and the delay is now counted in years. The newest round of delays will increase the delay to over one billion. There is no reason to believe that this shift will be resolved in two years and back to the same problems will a larger price tag.
Review the proposal and please email the Governor and your state legislators expressing your views. The elected officials need to hear from their constituents regarding the budget, the shutdown and whatever is going to happen next. The people of Minnesota need to control the agenda and voice their own opinions about what is important in Minnesota. National parties and special interest groups need to be balanced by citizens in the state.
