The DFL Legislature raises business taxes.\u00a0 Governor Dayton scuttled away from his party.<\/p>\n

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

The DFL legislature’s idea for plundering taxpayers to pay for Zygi Wilf’s real estate improvements – “E-pulltabs” – raised roughly 1\/1000% as much money as it was supposed to.\u00a0 Governor Dayton huffed and puffed and blamed it all on other people.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The DFL raised the minimum wage, without adding a tip credit for restaurant workers who frequently make many times more than a “living wage” from tips.\u00a0 Governor Dayton quietly tossed the idea partly under the bus when his sons pointed out it was hurting their restaurant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When people started talking about legalizing marijuana, Governor Dayton was for it before against it before he was for it before he was whatever he is today.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dayton favored releasing sex offenders, before he opposed it, before…oh, hell, I don’t know.<\/p>\n

And Dayton took great pride in MNSure before he washed his hands of it.<\/p>\n

Oh yeah – and although the administration he largely appointed and which reports to him was busted trying to jockey MNSure’s premium rates, Governor Dayton apparently pleads complete ignorance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’d be great if someone in the Minnesota media would press the Governor on this – but of course, he isn’t talking with the press this week.\u00a0 Not that anyone in the press would ask him if he were <\/em>talking to the press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The GOP has been railing – correctly – on Dayton’s competence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The competence of MInnesota’s press may be the bigger issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
