[Mpls] Pawlenty offers to fix local-aid glitch

Now if only the good people of Minneapolis would recognize that Pawlenty did
something for them that the state DFL legislative leadership did not deem
important enough for a special session. I won't hold my breath. Sigh.

Me:

Actually, Pawlenty clearly bluffed (some would call it a lie). He said he
needed the legislature, and clearly didn't (judging by today's action).

I don't think we should reward anyone for playing such a game.

That said, the issue isn't whether there should be a special session, but
what, if any limits there should be. (Both sides have made proposals, and
rejected proposals.) THAT, however, is a subject for another forum.
