One would think that education advocates would have a better grasp of math or at least a list of cuts and tax increases that goes above and beyond the governor's list and thus spares education and social programs the brunt of this budget storm. It is called leadership and if the Dems want to start winning seats west of Maple Grove they need to start showing some. <BR/><BR/>BTW if and when the congress passes a stimulus package it will likely limit those dollars to the "federal aid highway system" and require matching funds. Most of the dollars generated from Otter's proposal will be earmarked for those roads not covered by the federal system. Besides if federal spending on roads will stimulate the economy why wouldn't state dollars do the same thing?G.S.

Its a great slogan and the Governor's proposal is wrong headed for many reasons, not the least of which is how he is reaching to turn down Obama's infrastructure money which could pay for some of those transportation projects, largely upon ideological objections. Long post coming your way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
