I believe that a critical dimension of work for the DFL is remembering the farmers and laborers in its name. If the DFL represented those folks as well as it does urban progressives, greater Minnesota, including the once deep blue Iron Range, would no longer be deep red.

Wonderful piece. Now let's add Minnesota is now nearly the worst and last place to start a small business --the growing, rolling and ongoing fraud cases-- and has Minnesotans finally had it with the DFL? I know this suburban militant moderate has.

Hello again,

Yes I will blame my false starts on the cold!

As I was saying, you have written yet another engaging informative article on the matters that divide our legislature.

Alexander and the THVB Day was one of Liam’s favorites!

The overall problem, as you point out, is the posturing and cronyism existing between the GOP and Dems. Their grasping to take the reins at all costs prevents any cooperation.

How do they expect to solve the many problems facing Minnesota today which would require bipartisan thoughtfulness when all they care about is power grabbing?

May they all have Lima beans for lunch!

Thanks for being the voice of reason Tom!
