It’s hard to look at the MN House of Representatives’ own wrapup of the 2010 session (WARNING: PDF
How can the first paragraph of this press release be read as anything other than a complete and total vindication of Governor Pawlenty’s budget stance last year?
Despite court challenges and ceaseless partisan attacks, he held firm until the DFL itself introduced the very law that not only ratified the un-allotments but made even MORE cuts in programs intended to help poor people, the heartless bastards!
The media is already working hard to try to slander Pawlenty’s legacy. It’s because if more people nationwide knew the real Pawlenty story, he’d be a headache for the Democrats nationwide.
Pawlenty hasn’t been the best on several issues but given the choices we have had there isn’t any question he has been the best “man in the ring” we’ve had in a long time in MN.
