March 25, 2009: Legislative Report #40

Doing the Business of Legislating

With the introduction of another 50 bills today, Minnesota has a staggering 2172 bills on the business agenda. No longer is the possibility our representatives fulfill their oath to uphold the Minnesota Constitution and deal properly with 2172 bills and balance a budget having a projected shortfall of $6,400,000,000.00.  

The clock on our website is fast approaching the zero hour. With so little days remaining, what little reason and logic has existed in Saint Paul, will now vanish. Pressures to pass legislation, special interest group influence and the clock all reduce adherence to the Constitution and representation of “We The People”.
