www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.
