Late this afternoon, Senate Republicans sent out this news release:
In response to statements today from Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller that members of the legislature and Governor Tim Pawlenty "get real..." about the seriousness of the growing budget deficit, Assistant Senate Republican Leader David Hann (R-Eden Prairie) released the following statement:"I would respectfully like to remind Senator Pogemiller that his caucus has failed to 'get real' about the seriousness of the growing budget deficit by completely ducking their responsibility and pointedly refusing to produce a plan addressing Minnesota's budget deficit.
"Instead of their continuous chorus of complaints about the budget offered by Governor Pawlenty, Senator Pogemiller and the Senate DFL Caucus can show Minnesotans they can 'get real' about the state deficit by immediately offering an alternative budget proposal."
