As others see it: Governor's leverage
It seems quite likely that the DFL-controlled Legislature and Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty are on an inevitable collision course this session regarding how much bonding will be done for public works projects in Minnesota.

As Others See It: Feisty Franken fun
There is a feistiness to Minnesota Sen. Al Franken increasingly on display, a feature that doesn’t always look smooth but indicates a kind of guttiness and independence worthy of a closer look.

Editorial: Feeling good in Jackson County
The people of a southwest Minnesota county now have a good reason to raise glasses with each other and say, “To your health.”

As others see it: A major challenge
Gov. Tim Pawlenty presented his final State of State address Thursday. Unfortunately, Minnesota is in far worse financial shape than when Pawlenty took office eight years ago.
Certainly, it is not all Pawlenty’s fault.

Editorial: An unfair budget
In Friday’s edition, we suggested Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s budget not solely rely on cuts to erase an estimated $1.2 billion budget.
Clearly, the governor didn’t heed our advice.

As others see it: Pitch in on reform

Editorial: Painful reality: Cuts alone won't do it
Gov. Tim Pawlenty gave his eighth State of the State address Thursday, and to no one’s great surprise urged legislators to pass tax cuts and tax credits that he said would spur job creation in Minnesota.

As others see it: Move state primary up to June

As others see it: Hoping for quick Mauer-Twins deal
An initial report last week said Joe Mauer and the Minnesota Twins had reached a preliminary agreement for a new 10-year contract. Others said this report was a little premature.

As others see it: Clear the way for jobs, jobs, jobs
Our politics is becoming dominated by a four-letter word: jobs. Everyone from President Obama to the candidates for governor of Minnesota, and including the 201 legislators gathering for session on Thursday, will be describing their economic and budget ideas as a ‘job-creation,’ ‘jobs bills’ or, for ideas they don’t like, ‘job-killers.’
