7 Comments on Pawlenty Budget Proposal Threatens to Decimate the Arts in Minnesota
That's pretty sad, Eric. We are seeing programs like this get cut all over the country, and I suspect we will see even more as the recession continues and more jobs are lost. A number of states are in tough shape financially, inclulding CA. It's a little hard to follow the logic here.

Eric: It figures. Pawlenty and all of his ilk are so quick to diminish the value of just about anything artistic. If it doesn't bring in wheelbarrows full of money to his campaign coffers... or his cronies... what good is it ? Or so this weasel thinks.
Just between you and me... would you please do something to get the election finalized so we can get another Democrat into the Senate. Pawlenty doesn't need any more help from Coleman, or anyone else. I hope those in your wonderful state rise up to stop him. He does enough damage on his own. Take care... hope you are well... :)
Eric - Very interesting blog and I am glad to see your posting again!
Jeff, I understand budget cuts. What I don't understand is cuts that will actually cost taxpayers MORE than if the programs remained in place.
Karen Anne -- Pawlenty's fans have a chronic phobia of (and distaste for) the National Endowment for the Arts, public radio and television and much of the higher education community.
Pawlenty set a dubious record in Minnesota during 2008 for vetoing more bills in one legislative session than any governor in the State's history. He's a carbon copy of the Bush-Rove "no compromise" profile.
Under Pawlenty, Minnesota's tax burden has been shifted to middle-income families. Property taxes have soared under his tenure.
Unfortunately, Minnesotans have to suffer through two more years of the governor's posturing. But Pawlenty will be lonely soon. It seems unlikely that Norm Coleman will return to the Senate.
In the meantime, I like to remind folks what former Minnesota Republican Senator David Durenburger said about Pawlenty. When asked about Pawlenty's legacy as he nears the completion of his term, Durenburger replied that Pawlenty will be remembered only "for holding the office".
Robert, it's good to see you again!
Eric Minnesota isn't alone - not only are the politicos of any stripe cutting out arts, they are going after schools as well, Karen
