BTW, the (No New Taxes) pledge is unreasonable only insofar as the Governor's ability to control the legislature's spending.Maybe he was talking about this guy:
And by "legislature" I include some Republican's who need to be reminded why they were allowed to take a seat on our behalf.
Sen. Bill Belanger of Bloomington, lead Republican on the Senate Tax Committee, said he doesn't see a way to balance the budget without raising additional revenues.from the STRIB
"This governor has painted himself into a corner and I can't help him," Belanger said. "He never should have taken that [no-tax] pledge. I've always felt you have to keep all your options open. Yes, this is a high-tax state, but what the governor seems to have forgotten is Minnesotans expect a high level of services. I don't think there's any appetite for the kind of cuts he may have to make.
