Poor Dean Johnson... a little under the weather?
Senate Majority Leader Dean Johnson had been scheduled to make a stop in St. Cloud yesterday, however he cancelled the trip because of concerns over the weather. On Wednesday the Willmar Democrat had been criticized by Senate Republicans for not staying at the capital and finishing up the session. Johnson had been facing pressure to meet with Governor Tim Pawlenty and House Speaker Steve Sviggum for budget negotiations yesterday. Johnson had been scheduled to stop in Saint Cloud to promote the D-F-L budget plan for an income tax increase to fund schools.(emphasis mine)
It would appear that Dean Johnson is now taking hiding lessons from Mark Dayton. Only rather than imagined terrorist threats, Dean Johnson, a Minnesotan, seems to have a fear of a 1000:1 shot freak May snowstorm. If that is truly the case, Dean Johnson, you may want to call your buddy Mark Dayton to reserve an adjacent padded cell.
