We Should Live Within Our Means

It is very good advice to try to "live within our means". This has been suggested, advised, and touted as the way we should run our state. This advice comes mainly from the newly elected Republican majority in the Minnesota House and Senate. It would appear that they are good at giving advice - led by their party chairman Tony Sutton. When it comes to put up or shut up, they fail miserably. The county of Nicollet has been waiting since December for payment associated with the governor recount. They have sent five invoices and received no response. Tony, put your money where your mouth is. Pay the taxpayers of Nicollet County (who are very good at living within their means) what is due. end
