Impassive
By Mitch Berg
“I’m shocked, shocked that we have no solution…”, says Governor Dayton…
Minnesota’s budget talks are at an impasse and two weeks before a potential state government shutdown, Gov. Mark Dayton said he does not know how the problem can be resolved.
…to the shutdown he and his cronies have been planning all along.
The only real solution is to find some terrorists to phone in a threat to Saint Paul.

I think the Legislature should refuse to attend the inevitable special session until there’s actually a deal done.
Hey, maybe all the GOP legislators should go to South Dakota “on vacation” until a deal is done. That would fit with the Democrats idea of how to run a government.

“…to the shutdown he and his cronies have been planning all along.”
I’m still sayin that Mad Mark and his crew will own the shutdown, lock, stock, and barrel, and they’ll pay for it in a big way at the end of the day.

There is a very way to stop the shutdown. Give the Legislature a $34 billion budget and they will pass it in one minute. The trouble is he wants to spend $35.7 billion and do that tax increase.
