What's the Hurry?
I'm sending an email to my DFL representatives regarding the transit tax bill. I don't think I'm asking too much.
What's the hurry? You have all session to override the veto of the Transportation Bill. Certainly you can wait two weeks, insignificant in terms of any related construction.
One week is to allow for more public input, given that there are significant changes you made less than a week ago. You owe us that much given the size of the tax increases in this bill.
By then, the new revenue forecast will be out, and you yourself will need a second week to see if further changes are warranted, depending on the size of the deficit.
Whatever decision you might make this Monday, you'll make a more informed, more credible decision on March 10th or after.
