Tim Tax A Plenty!

In the Governor's State of the State address he stated:

Keeping a lid on taxes is not just good for the taxpayer. It's a powerful way to force government to be more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter. Let me repeat that: more accountable, set priorities and spend smarter?that's what we need to be about.

and when his budget comes out today you will find:

Property taxes for schools would increase an estimated 23 percent next year under the budget that Gov. Tim Pawlenty is scheduled to recommend to legislators today.

In each of the two years after that, the portion of property taxes homeowners pay for schools would rise about 9 percent annually, the Education Department predicts.

What we have is Pawlenty basically rolling back all the work Ventura did on Education finance. It also shows how important it is that we elect someone who is fiscally responsible during the next Governor's race. It is obvious what we have here is a GOP shell game.
