August: Back to School - Already?

Watching from afar

I'm out west this week, with not much free time. But I see in the online Minneapolis Star Tribune that the Minnesota Senate is well on its way to overplaying the stadium question by sneaking in a much bigger tax increase, the excess going to light rail no doubt.

We may get through this after all unless the House melts down. And with men like Sviggum at the helm, it could happen, and Prime Minister Pawlenty will likely sign it as not, given his track record.

But I'm hoping the whole thing collapses as it should.
