Read this piece<\/a> in the\u00a0MinnPost<\/em>, entitled “House DFL opens session with priority of paying back $550 million to schools”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What’s missing?<\/p>\n

It’s got the who, what, when, where, why and how (DFL, pay back the “shift”, or accounting gimmick that post-dates checks until after some future date, this session, at the Capitol, etc).<\/p>\n

It’s got some quotes from DFL leaders:<\/p>\n

Speaker Paul Thissen, sworn in Tuesday along with the rest of Minnesota\u2019s legislators, said the ceremonial House File 1 would be a bill that returns roughly $550 million to the state\u2019s schools. DFLers campaigned on the issue, but it hadn\u2019t surfaced on many pre-legislative to-do lists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And it’s suffused with the sense that all those DFLers are plugging away For The Children.<\/p>\n

What does it not have?<\/p>\n

Any reference to the fact that the GOP-dominated 2012 session passed a bill to pay back the shift last year. \u00a0Governor Dayton vetoed it.<\/p>\n

Precisely\u00a0<\/em>so that the media would have this headline, this year.<\/p>\n

Heck of a job, MinnPost<\/em>. \u00a0You may take your place in the ranks of the Minnesota Praetorian Guard, doing your bit for the DFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
