In the last few days of negotiations, Republicans have left many of the measures that Minnesotans care about most on the cutting room floor (and then lied about it). Here’s the worst of the week.

Even in the final stretch of session, Republicans are still letting Minnesotans down.

Apparently, Minnesota Republicans have had plenty of time to hang out with their buddy Scott Walker, but not enough to show up for Minnesotans.

He will, no doubt, try to mislead Minnesotans about the actual impact their administration’s policies have had on farmers.  Here’s what he won’t be talking about…

While DFLers are pushing for the measures that Minnesotans care about most, Republicans are leaving us scratching our heads.

We’ve got a lot to talk about, Minnesotans. Legislators are back after break, and we’re back with the Weekly WTF.  Let’s get into it:

Representative Alice Mann, a Lakeville physician and Brazilian-American, had some choice words for Rep. Drazkowski and other fear mongering GOPers.

The block. It’s a classic move in basketball, but in state government, when Republicans block important legislation, nobody wins. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening down at the Capitol. While DFLers are working to pass bills that advance Minnesotans’ priorities and uphold progressive values, Republicans are just standing in the way.
