We like taxes

Here's a funny thing Minnesota Governor Tim "No New Taxes" Pawlenty probably won't understand: many of us are more than happy to pay for the exceedingly high quality of life we have here. Pawlenty's plan to balance the budget through drastic service cuts and shifting burdens to municipalities, local property taxes, and user fees won't preserve the quality of life we've come to enjoy. Better Minnesota is a new group that urges Pawlenty to consider other options for our budget shortfalls--and discourages him from pitting arts funding against homeless shelters, highway funds versus firefighter benefits.
