What's the Hurry?

   I'm sending an email to my DFL representatives regarding the transit
   tax bill. I don't think I'm asking too much.

     What's the hurry? You have all session to override the veto of the
     Transportation Bill. Certainly you can wait two weeks,
     insignificant in terms of any related construction.
     One week is to allow for more public input, given that there are
     significant changes you made less than a week ago. You owe us that
     much given the size of the tax increases in this bill.
     By then, the new revenue forecast will be out, and you yourself
     will need a second week to see if further changes are warranted,
     depending on the size of the deficit.
     Whatever decision you might make this Monday, you'll make a more
     informed, more credible decision on March 10th or after.
