SVIGGUM: DEMOCRATIC CONTROL IN THE LEGISLATURE ALREADY HAS LED TO OUT-OF-CONTROL SPENDING
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 16, 2007
"Democratic control in the Legislature already has led to out-of-control spending, said Rep. Steve Sviggum.
The Kenyon Republican said committee expansion and per diem expenses are evidence that DFL leaders are in 'self-serving' mode.
'Democrats have thumbed their collective noses at taxpayers by expanding state government and voting themselves a big fat pay raise,' Sviggum said.
House and Senate rules committees approved expense and housing increases." Source: Bemidji Pioneer, January 15, 2007

It’s clear that the DFL is all about raising their pay and bilking the system for all it can.
Nice to see Swiggum stand up and hand Sertich his hat on the first real floor session of the new season. Also great to see Paulson in the game. The republican minority is clearly not going to just sit back and watch the democrats take us to the cleaners.
Minnesotans can’t help but lose respect for the new majority leadership when the first order of business is a raise and year-round housing for Rukavina and his band of merry men.
