We all know that Minnesota is run by the DFL; has been, for years.\u00a0 Legislative session just ended.\u00a0 What critical problems did the DFL solve<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Drug dealer licensing.\u00a0 Put zoning above environment.\u00a0\u00a0 Raise rates for Uber\/Lyft rides.\u00a0 Increase penalties for gun crimes which DFL county attorneys will decline to prosecute.\u00a0 State takeover of rural ambulance service but only 10% of the funding funding to run it.\u00a0 Ticket prices (House File 1989, apparently a reference to Taylor Swift, which shows you the level of silliness).\u00a0 Deadbeats over doctors.\u00a0 ATV trails. Raise the price of broadband. \u00a0<\/p>\n
