Pawlenty statement on DFL budget plan
Here's Gov. Pawlenty's statement on the DFL budget balancing plan:
"The DFL's proposed tax increase is like Jason in 'Friday the 13th' - it's scary and it keeps coming back. "I know the DFL doesn't look to me for advice but here's a tip: people want government spending cut, not taxes increased. "The DFL tax increase plan would give Minnesota the fifth highest income tax rate in the country, would deter small businesses from growing jobs, and would lead to more unemployed Minnesotans. I look forward to vetoing this DFL tax increase."
