Bert 1,123 Posted June 20, 2011 I've been working with the DOR the last couple of weeks and they are convinced y'all are locking the doors July 1. Sounds like a giant cluster fock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joneo 540 Posted June 20, 2011 I'm hoping so. People need to get a grasp of realization and this might be the beginning of it.. Realistically however, I doubt the state will shut down. I believe it to be a political game and a scare tactic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthernVike 2,081 Posted June 20, 2011 Yes Minny politicians are focked in the head. We have a huge budget deficit and they want to shut down the state parks and rest areas for the 4th of July weekend in a state that has a huge tourism industry. Focking genius.

titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745 Posted June 20, 2011 Tennessee did this back around 2002 or so. I needed to have a transcript from college sent to a law school ASAP... went to campus, national guardsment turned me away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it to be a political game and a scare tactic. That's what I thought. Our attourney up there and people at the DOR no longer think it is a scare tactic. He called the political situation toxic. From my prospective I've never seem the DOR work so hard to get values settled and finalized. I guess we will see in a couple of weeks.

BLS 313 Posted July 7, 2011 I'd like to see it go on this way for another 2 or 3 months. The Republicans already caved and gave Dayton a proposal with the largest budget increase in history. He wanted more and declined their offer and decided to let the govt. shut down. If the Republicans move on the budget they will lose their jobs next election.

Bert 1,123 Posted July 7, 2011 Fiscal responsibility is a tough pill to take. I agree with you but this has more to do with politics and name calling than fiscal responsibility. Working as much as I do with the DOR I see and hear a lot of things that don't make the papers and I am not exaggerating when I say it is like RP and MDC trying to decide on a budget. Responsibility and intelligence were taking off the table by both sides a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Responsibility and intelligence were taking off the table by both sides a long time ago. I believe you. People are the same all over, and I have no doubt that politicians put their own self interests and ego's before the needs of their constituents; in fact, i think that its rare that they truly serve the majority Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
