Posted on 07/15/11 at 11:44 am in response to DFL legislators may be the most dismayed with budget deal

No, I'd say anyone who has a small bone of fiscal sanity should be the most dismayed with this bill. That the GOP put forth a 12% budget increase is unconscionable. Why would we bother to work for the reelection of any of the irresponsible legislators? Time to clean house again.

For the record, at least one candidate for delegate told me he was asked if he would support McCain. The candidate specified, "after the endorsement" meaning nomination, and the Nom Com guy said, "I'll put that down as a 'yes'." So there was a bit of confusion over the question.
