DFL react to Pawlenty’s speech

DFL House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL House Majority Leader Tony Sertich and DFL Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller say they weren't impressed with Gov. Pawlenty's eighth and final State of the State speech. They called it "more of the same," and "boilerplate." They also don't seem too receptive to his "job creation bill" that includes a 20 percent reduction to the corporate income tax rate, an Angel Investment Tax Credit and a capital gains exclusion to for qualified investments.
