We warned you.

Vote DFL, or stay home because “the Republicans suck” or “they’re all the same”?

Pay through the nose:

The 2007 legislative session offered the Minnesota DFL an opportunity to shed a bit of its hard-taxing reputation. With a projected $2.2 billion state budget surplus, legislators could have funded champagne-style programs while avoiding the headache of higher taxes. Given the surplus, some hard-pressed Minnesota taxpayers were even dreaming of a rebate.

Sober up, taxpayers. In the opening hours of the legislative session, the DFL-dominated Senate went on a tax increase binge.

More of that “bipartisan cooperation” that the DFL and the Strib were always yapping about when the GOP was in control, obviously.

Read the whole thing and weep.  It’s going to be a brutal couple of years.
