ONUS IS ON GOVERNOR'S PROTECTED GROUPS

Pawlenty’s job cuts

The presss reported today that the Governor’s aides have indicated the Governor’s spending cuts and deferrals will mean the loss of 3,155 jobs. The onus is now on the protected groups who (in the words of Governor Pawelenty) “won’t be creating new jobs if we raise their taxes.” I am anxious to see these protected groups who are now enjoying “no new taxes” make new investments and expand their businesses and create at least 3,155 new jobs.
