It May Be An Idle Question…

By Mitch Berg

…but I wonder if any of the major-media “fact check” operations are going to go the new ad from “Alida Buys The Legislature” “A “Better” Legislature” that claims…:

  • The Republicans shut down the state government (it was Dayton)
  • Republicans protected tax breaks for the wealthy (it was for everyone)
  • The GOP “passed a law that raised taxes for 95% of homeowners” (property taxes are local government’s job, and the 95% number reeks of fakeness)
  • The GOP blocked a job bill (Er, no – they blocked a Dayton bonding proposal that was nothing but a bone for the public employee’s unions that we couldn’t pay for).

Here’s a job for Minnesota’s “professional fact-checkers”; do a story on Alida Messinger’s entire attack-PR operation.

No, I’m not holding my breath either.

    Our property tax went down. But then we have city and county government that doesn’t propose $50,000 dollar drinking fountains.

    So did mine, overall, but Hennepin County and the Screwel taxes went up.
