Here is a very brief and startling exchange between Sen. Mike Parry (R-Waseca) and Minnesota Management & Budget Jim Schowalter.
On June 7th, weeks after Dayton vetoed the budget, a frustrated Sen. Parry asked for details of the Governor's planned cuts so the legislature has a place to start negotiations--asking "what are you going to cut?"
Commissioner Schowalter reiterated Dayton's plan to "find a way to work together...to meet in the middle" and said that he could not give "details for a proposal that do not exist."
Why does this proposal not exist? That is outrageous, odd and irresponsible. Please call or email Governor Dayton. Ask him for the details of his planned cuts.

It’s like I’m living in an insane asylum.

I should note that the only way he got elected is that a phony third party candidate dragged just enough votes away from the Republican. A very popular and effective democrat strategy that needs to be addressed somehow.
A major reason leftist metrocrats are always pushing “IRV”
voting.
