ST. PAUL - With little more than two weeks into the 2010 legislative session, the DFL- controlled House and Senate have pushed two major spending bills through the process. The first to reach Governor Pawlenty’s desk was a $283 million “fix” for the General Assistance Medical Care program, which was met with an immediate veto.
The second, a billion dollar pork-laden borrowing bill, is headed to a House and Senate conference committee, but will likely meet a similar fate if the bill is not downsized.

The gavel had hardly hit the desk at the start of the 2010 Session, when state legislators began spending more taxpayer dollars. The first order of business in both the House and the Senate was to pass construction-related bonding proposals totaling almost one billion dollars.
Like a Toyota with a stuck accelerator, the speed at which the Legislature took off was mesmerizing. There was no discussion of the $1.2 billion budget shortfall, let alone the fact that the state has already exceeded its debt-to-spending ratio of the historic three percent limit-a debt guideline that has been in place for 30 years.

Action Required!
15 Republican legislators just voted to put
Minnesota another billion dollars in debt!
Governor Pawlenty called the House and Senate bonding bills, “unaffordable, irresponsible and filled with local projects.” He has indicated he may veto the entire capital investment bill rather than just line-item vetoes.
With the state facing a $1.2 billion budget shortfall, the right thing to do is balance the budget before ringing up more pork barrel projects on the state credit card.
All 15 of these fiscally irresponsible lawmakers need to hear from you today about their vote for the liberals’ bloated bonding bill.
Ask these 15 legislators to please uphold any and all of Gov. Pawlenty’s vetoes!
