re: State Shutdown

Steph0871 · June 2011

Who asked about this before? Grey?

Anyway. Here's assholes (oops. I mean Dayton.) proposed shut down.

http://www.startribune.com/politics/statelocal/123960939.html

all parks WILL be closed.

TaffetaDarlingTaffeta · June 2011

As the article says, State Parks will close. Says nothing re: county parks, so who knows, that is up in the air and to be determined.

As for assholes, can't say that I fully agree with the finger pointing Dayton remark. This shutdown is unlike any other and really will set a precedent for future issues of the like. As much as politics are a pain in the ass this is pretty interesting and frustrating stuff!

graysquirrel · June 2011

Thanks! I called my venue and thank God they will not be affected. I'd have gone mental and it would not be pretty.

TaffetaDarlingTaffeta · June 2011

GS - I see your venue must be the Stillwater courthouse - If there is still shutdown action, come your wedding day, the lift bridge will be left up for river traffic. Heck, you'll have the run of the town without all the cars going to and fro from 'Sconnie! Glad your venue is good! I'm at a county park too and have had my eyes peeled as well.

I agree. Steph, you've called me out on being political before. How is this any better? You can probably guess how I feel about the whole thing, so I won't go into the intracacies of it. Just remember that Dayton was voted in just as much as every member of the hous of representatives. There's enough blame to go around (although you can guess where mine squarely lies). I'm just really really REALLY glad I'm a county employee and we didn't merge with the state, as was proposed last year.

Steph0871 · June 2011

OH FFS. It was a joke. Although, I really don't see anything wrong with being political.

Question- if Dayton hadn't hidden his money in SD to avoid paying taxes, think maybe we could have avoided the shut down an extra day? Or if he'd spent half the time he's spent on planning a shutdown, planning a budget, maybe the state wouldnt' be shutting down anyway.

ETA: maybe he's drinking on the job. We all know he likes to drive and drink (a trait he handed off to his son, too! Great morals in a leader!)

But, then again- you don't want me to get political, so I won't.

Both sides are to blame. If the Republicans were more focused on the budget, and less focused banning gay marriages and voter id, we probably wouldn't be heading for a state shutdown. I think they all shouldn't be paid until they pass a budget.

Did the original post get reported? I didn't delete it. I'm confused.

Either way, political opinions are acceptable for anyone (including an ex moderator) to post, regardless of if anyone else agrees. It would have only been inappropriate if Steph had directly attacked one of the knotties for being a certain political affiliation in that post.

Posted by MAYA3300[/QUOTE]

FTR, the Republicans are focused on the budget AND they came up with a budget plan over a month ago, however, Dayton won't agree to it because it doesn't involve a tax increase.
It's even in the article steph posted here is CN:
<em><strong>"Republicans have adamantly opposed Dayton's proposed tax increases and instead passed a budget last month that used cuts to eliminate the state's projected $5 billion deficit. Dayton vetoed that budget and the two sides have been at impasse ever since."

</strong></em>Personally, I think the fact that Dayton sees the shutdown as a "WIN" is ridiculous.
<strong>
</strong>

MAYA3300 · June 2011

Any person who sucessfully manages their household finances understands that one can't reduce the deficit by spending cuts alone. But Republicans are just doing what they've always done, to balance the budget on the backs of the poor.

That said, I still think both sides are to blame. I think the two party system doesn't work that well, and hasn't worked for some time. Everyone seems to have forgotten how to compromise. Especially since the country, and the state is so divided. And none of them should be receiving any pay, especially for a special session.

I don't. I think this is a fine venue. It started a conversation, did it not?

And you did- you compared the fact that he had a DUI to me mocking mental illness. NEVER did I say anything aganst him for being a recovering alcoholic; in fact, I think that takes a great deal of strength (and I give him props for being open about it.) BUT I personally think that anyone who drives drunk is, in fact, an asshole.

I find it extremely ironic that you think asshole is "declasse" but have no problem throwing the S word around.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: re: State Shutdown : Rereading- your'e right. I can understand how my point was taken differently originally. So I apologize for that (that's sincerity.) I just had to laugh and judge how once one person disagreed with me in this thread, all of a sudden everyone else was all "YEAH! you used to be the mod! you cant' say that stuff!" That's just lame. And- re: Bachmann... you're right. It's not her district. But she's still out all over the damn country showing her face as a MINNESOTA representative. So, she should have been here supporting Minnesota, in my opinion. Also- if you're reading SB anyway, why are you still attacking me here?!

<div>I really didn't mean for that last post to come across as attacky. Truly, non-snarkily. I apologize. I'm not a regular SB lurker - maybe once a month. Bad timing.</div><div>
</div><div>As for Bachmann... ugh. She's... ugh. I could go on and on about what she hasn't done for her district and state. Such a demagogue.</div>
