Mikey is the sewer project all that was in that bill? ;) You are a typical liberal flamer who wants to cry foul over one subject and try to stick us with the rest of this bill. You should be taken out in the street and publically flogged for your socialist ideals. :)

Go lay by your damn dish!

If he does, the DFL is juvenile enough to not even offer a second one. They are willing to let the important projects slide in order to use it in the upcoming election that they need more votes to override the governor. He should line item and let the DFL tell us why we should bond for gorilla cages and sheet music museums etc, but not for safer roads and bridges. I wouldn’t veto the whole bill if I were him.

This is not grade school, the Governor needs to grow up and show some leadership. He has no excuse not to sign this bill and if he does the press and the public should not let him off the hook. He can veto any single item in the bill and has the golden opportunity to cut out anything he thinks is pork or irresponsible. Leadership is about action, not talk.

But Democrats are too dumb, dishonest and greedy to play fair. They have special interests to pay off. "To hell with responsible legislation, to hell with the taxpayers, and to hell with the state economy" is what Democrats have to say. Of course they were warned.
