The Pen is mightier than the Pork...


Disgusted by the 2+ billion dollars in pork and astronomical tax increases, Governor Pawlenty, only an hour ago, vetoed the entire bonding bill.

When asked why he didn't merely utilize a line item veto, Governor Pawlenty replied, "Because then there'd be nothing left of it!"

Kudos to Governor Pawlenty and the Republican (and sane democrat) members of the Minnesota House and Senate who stood up for Minnesota taxpayers, and "Just said no!" to pork!

Huzzah!
