Going to be a show down here too. Pawlenty pledges to veto any tax increase. The Dem/Rino party is demanding tax increases. Going to be interesting. Interesting too, Oral's favorite governor is going to lay off hundreds of state employees and demanding that the ones left give back their last raise. Wisconsin: -- Furlough most state workers for 16 days over a two-year period starting in July. -- Cut state agencies' budgets by up to 5 percent, leading to up to 700 layoffs. -- Force the state workers union to chose between giving up a 2 percent pay increase or accepting another 400 layoffs. -- Stop the 2 percent pay raise for roughly 10,000 mostly administrative workers not covered under the union contract.
