House Republican leadership unveiled an alternative transportation proposal designed to address Minnesota's transportation system needs without raising taxes.  A comparison chart illustrating the differences between the DFL and GOP proposals is provided in the diagram below:

According to a press release issued by House Minority Leader Marty Seifert (R, Marshall), the GOP plan invests more than seven times as much in local road and bridges than the DFL plan and makes use of reliable, long-term funding to sufficiently build and maintain Minnesota's transportation systems without burdening taxpayers, while keeping healthy commitments to other areas of government.

Re: Republicans Unveil Alternative Transportation Plan with No New Tax Increases    By Roxanne Agren on 2/22/2008
Please, do ALL you can to keep taxes from increasing. We face a 35% increase in Real Estate Taxes because the county commissioners, school board and city council all decided they need to do that. This is Martin County. It's nuts! (we'll have to vote them out of office). And this is supposed to be a CONSERVATIVE region!

Silly,we are in a governing majority of DEMOBRATS. If they can't come up with an unnecessary excuse to spend your money, they eat it!

We feel your pain. We have no disposable income now! I have no idea what we'll do, but I'm sure the demobrats have ideas. Eventually we will all be forced to need some form if not all forms of subsidies unless the Governor opens his eyes and stops this disease, it's spreading quickly.The liberal demobrats are getting rid of everything the earliest immigrants established and American born strengthened, you know, freedom, independence, individualism, responsibility... everything positive. The true republicans are sincere and have to deal with so much incompetence, unfortunately they are outnumbered...by power hungry control freaks ignorant to the American Constitution and clearly does not want to share it with the new immigrants of today!

In St. Louis County our Real Estate taxes are increasing 41% this year and that's on top of a 71% increase last year! Now higher state and gas taxes?? We are considering getting the heck out of this tax crazy state! We can't afford to do business in this state!

Book of the Month
Did you know that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs? Funny how "pro-choice" and "environmentalist" liberals never talk about that. Or how about this: the Live Earth concert to "save the planet" released more CO2 into the atmosphere than a fleet of 2,000 Humvees emit in a year? We hear a lot about AIDS in Africa, but the number one killer of children in much of Africa is malaria--and guess who was responsible for banning the pesticide that used to have malaria under control? Iain Murray, a sprightly environmental analyst with a long record of skewering liberal hypocrisy, has dug up seven of the all-time great environmental catastrophes caused by the Left and exposed them in The Really Inconvenient Truths.

Founder's Quote of the Week

"It should be the highest ambition of every American to extend his views beyond himself, and to bear in mind that his conduct will not only affect himself, his country, and his immediate posterity; but that its influence may be co-extensive with the world, and stamp political happiness or misery on ages yet unborn."

—George Washington, letter to the Legislature of Pennsylvania, September 5, 1789
