Press Release: Public Employees Are Not The Enemy
It really has come to this. That we have to even make this statement shows the sorry state of affairs for the state and the country. From Representative Michael Nelson (DFL) in District 46A: Far too often, people simply take our public employees and their hard work for granted, but when you stop to think about it, their work touches our lives every day. When you wake up in the morning the water you drink is tested by a public employee to ensure it’s free of contaminants.

Michele Bachmann Doesn’t Like Black People Getting Paid Back Money They Deserved
African American farmers have been discriminated against by the Department of Agriculture for years and just recently saw their hope repayment improve as the Senate passed a settlement bill. Talking Points Memo reports that the measure was paid for by cutting other areas of the budget: The Senate was finally able to pass the settlement, as well as one for American Indians whose land trusts were mismanaged by the government, because Democrats agreed to cut the money from other programs instead of paying with deficit spending. Among them are $2 billion from Customs fees, $562 million from surplus from WIC, a food stamps program for women and children, and an expected $2.7 billion saved by allowing the Treasury to recoup overpaid insurance claims from tax … Continue reading
