Legislators have a job to do in a given amount of time.
It seems to me that for every day that a congressman has to work in a special session, they should be paying the state $500 per day for their inability to meet their job requirements.

Why should the tax payers pay the congress folks for not doing thier jobs in the form of a special session?

“Former Gov. Carlson Predicts Special Session”.. Heck I could have told you that last year when they finished. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure this out. It happens just about every year.

What a worthless article! These politicians should do what they were hired to do and that is look out for the tax payers. None of them will take the free money for the racino , because they are paid off.

I may not agree with former Governor Carlson on some thiings, but he usually has something worthwhile that others can learn from. In this case I could not agree more. The legislature has lost sight of the things that make Minnesota a great place to live and raise a family.

Children are our future. We need to provide the best education, health care and opportunity for our children.

Thank you Governor Carlson!

I believe a third-party might be able to negotiate a settlement. It would have to be someone of “stature” and one who can find the middle ground. Only problem with this is these teabaggers who will never compromise.

It isn’t going to happen folks. The Republicans are far too busy with social engineering. They all ran on ” jobs, jobs, jobs but have done everying but jobs. You voters were duped.

Arne Carlson was the last great governor Minnesota had. It says a lot about Governor Dayton’s intelligence and humility that he sought Carlson’s advice. Governor Dayton has already offered compromised to the right-wing Rethuglicans in the legislature. He shouldn’t offer any more. Let the GOP force a special session with their inability to be adults and compromise. That is what life is all about: COMPROMISE. None of us, repeat, none of us gets it all our way all the time.
