I was wondering--<br />--Has the question of "why doesn't MN have a bank based on the State Bank of ND" been addressed by a sitting governor?<br /><br />I think we need one and certainly could have used one this past decade or so.

It must be pink.<br />The current fiscal circumstance in which Minnesotans see their government is a direct result of a long line of Republicans giving in here and giving in there to the plaintive pleas of bleeding-heart liberals continually expanding the scope of government to do more and give more to keep an ever-growing portion of the Minnesota populace dependent on direct government aid.<br />ENOUGH!, cry the independent; TOO MUCH!, cry members of grass roots citizens who continue to arise from an apathetic, "Minnesota nice" stupor to challenge the confusion between charity and governance.<br />The best that Arne Carlson can suggest is "closing the legislative session with a compromised budget situation and an agreement to work with the Governor on a reform agenda designed to review concerns of affordability along with size and scope of government." In other words, give in, again, and give in a little more later.<br />ENOUGH!Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483321127563351610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646982459420431681.post-24140220762058429202011-03-31T10:24:05.305-05:002011-03-31T10:24:05.305-05:00An excellent post.

It seems that even on the state level we are losing anything akin to an Arne Carlson, or MN Republican Senator Steve Dille who recently retired.<br /><br />I feel forced to vote Democrat in MN state elections because of the totalitarian way in which the Tony Sutton and Republican leaders keep the flock in lock step voting extremely to the right. No compromise, no negotiating, nothing accomplished.Slikweaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999539666043547358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646982459420431681.post-25043473473633660972011-03-30T22:10:48.723-05:002011-03-30T22:10:48.723-05:00Where are the statesmen when we need them?
