No ... really? Pawlenty & unallotment


» Read similar stories filed under:

From the "No ... really" files:

I am hardly surprised that Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty recently threatened to veto a bill that would disallow unallotment. Why would he sign such a proposal, when he's probably going to need a bargaining chip in order to get a balanced budget during this session of the Minnesota Legislature?

In the past, when legislators failed to balance the budget, Pawlenty has made budget cuts unilaterally, a move called unallotment. A court case on the issue is pending.

Becoming More Vocal

Hello all. I was talking with a fellow blogger the other day and we were discussing the whole public comment issue. He helped me realize (thank you Twinsfan) that rather than being an infrequent blogger, I need to be MORE active.

Maybe the better plan is to discuss day to day stuff, even some of the mundane and not-so-controversial items. With more threads going during periods where things are not incredibly tense, everyone gets a better feel for what is going on, more bloggers are likely to participate and the effort to diffuse imperfect perceptions isn't the only effort expended.
