   Listening to the callers at the [1]Minnesota Budget Solutions, I heard
   one talk of Minnesota acting like California. That's a good
   perspective, I think.
   Isn't that what we're doing here in Minnesota, acting like California
   in almost every way? Why does the DFL think our results will be any
   different? The deficits are growing and the businesses are leaving, or
   like Intel, expanding elsewhere. California is even seeing a
   significant net exodus of people, not counting the influx of illegal
   aliens.
   Their Legislature is like ours, in denial, most of their efforts
   directed at raising taxes. Their Governor, like ours, talks tough at
   times, but then disappoints us at times.
   I do see one difference, Prime Minister Pawlenty's push to halve the
   corporate income tax. Might as well, as it won't be generating much
   this year anyway.
