Lieutenant governor's view: GOP misleads public about state budget

If you ask Minnesotans how our state budget is faring, most people will tell you the truth: Our budget is a mess, our schools are short-funded and property taxes are higher than ever. Republican state legislators running for re-election are the only Minnesotans telling a much different story. They tell us everything is fine, that Minnesota’s finances are doing better than ever.
