Featured NewsBritton writes to Governor requesting mandated budget submittal. Former Governor Arne Carlson echoes Britton’s concernsIn my July 9 letter to Governor Tim Pawlenty, I asked that he go to work, not the bank, to solve our state’s budget crisis. Today’s Star Tribune article affirms that the Governor is heading to the bank, and outlines some of the reasons but not all, as to why borrowing is not the answer for Minnesota. Borrowing only further delays our predicament and there are no plans to repay loans. Borrowing will likely lower our already downgraded bond rating, further burden schools and delay promised tax refunds to already stressed businesses. The Britton for House team has been talking about fiscal responsibility and the economy from day one; I have emphasized our need to take a comprehensive approach to solve our budget crisis. However, no candidate has the staff and resources afforded to the Governor who is by law required to submit a balanced budget. I am ready to roll-up my sleeves and put my 25 years of real-world work experience and problem solving to help address our state’s budget crisis. I have always found that a focus on solutions and collaboration is the best way to get the job done. In the meantime, the Governor needs to provide the budget for those who have to manage this in the future -- to evaluate and discuss in the public forum, for all to hear. -Audrey |
