Small token but at least he did something. I can only hope the other 17 make the same choice. Time will tell who the real hipocrits are

On the radio there was talk of all the state workers receiving pay for that period. Don’t know if it’s true or not but I would n’t be suprised if they didn’t get full pay, after all tha is what the taxpayers are for

To Barry: You are a very negative person. We need people who have positive things to say and make contributions to our situation. I recommend you get some therapy. It might make you feel better. We don’t need these constant rocks thrown at State of Minnesota workers. You make judgements and have little or no knowledge, nor do you avail yourself of information that would lead to some understanding of their work or responsibilities.

PS. I am not a state worker, but I do appreciate what they do for us!

Why are so many people down on State Employees? Are you jealous? Who do you think provides you with drivers license renewals, hunting permits, gun permits, car transfers, and many, many, more services.
The current Legislature. including Tea Partiers, and Right Wingers, caused this shutdown and it cost the State (all of us taxpaers) millions of dollars. None of them should have taken a dime in pay.

Bet they “donated” the money to themselves!

Don’t re-elect any of these people!

They money they “donated” to a charity of their choice was taxpayer money. The state workers did not get paid while this shutdown was in effect, so why did the legislators? None of them should have gotten paid, and all of them should be fired for failing the taxpayers of Minnesota. I know, they can’t be fired, but we sure don’t have to re-elect them!
