Who's a Moderate? Update
Barb Sykora, assistant majority leader in the Minnesota House fires back at John Gunyou today, again on the Commentary page. She notes that when he was Finance Commissioner under Gov. Arne Carlson, they raised taxes but gave no increases to education. She also notes that he failed to mention the declining enrollments that explain some of the recent reductions in education spending.
I consider this more evidence, if any is needed, that Mr. Gunyou, who fancies himself a moderate, is a liberal. As Minnetonka's City Manager, he also has a conflict of interest in recommending further increases in state taxes and spending.
