State Rep. Bernie Lieder, DFL-Crookston, column: Session balanced budget and created jobs

OUR OPINION: Demand strict audits of Legacy spending
Made constitutional writ by a referendum in 2008, the Legacy Amendment will pour millions of dollars a year into wildlife habitat restoration and enhancement.
The spending will take place outside of some normal legislative channels. That’s all the more reason not only to make smart decisions up front, but also to check and double-check the actual spending that results.

THEIR OPINION: Control the federal debt -- now
The explosion of national debt, driven most recently by bailout and stimulus programs, has reached an alarming and critical point. The dire impact of that debt on generations to come should not be underestimated. The out-of-control spending has to stop.

Nancy Gooch, Minot, letter: Schafer opposes some — not all — spending
I expect that opposition to health care reform will be front and center at this week’s tea party, yet I venture to bet that former Gov. Ed Schafer willingly took part in government health plans during the decade when he was a state and federal government official.

OUR OPINION: Is the ‘Minnesota model’ worth it?
Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s proposed hard cap on state spending is destined to fail. The governor knows it, too. That means the proposal is a waste of time. That’s a shame, because Minnesota’s model of government needs fixing, and Pawlenty could have been just the right mechanic. In a minute, some ideas about how that might have worked.

MINNESOTA POLITICS: Early 2010 primary likely ... Pawlenty calls N.H. mayor ... GOP wants their change ... more
It appears Minnesotans will go to the polls for the 2010 primary election in August, a month earlier than usual. A new federal law gives military and other overseas voters 45 days to deal with mail-in general election ballots, but a September primary election leaves too little time to prepare for the general election. Several Minnesota lawmakers plan to move a bill through the 2010 Legislature soon after it convenes Feb. 4.
