And now, a word from Susan Gaertner

Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner says it's not too late to go back to the negotiating table for Pawlenty and the Legislature:

"Clearly, these are difficult times that require difficult decisions, but those decisions are best made after a meaningful debate and within a spirit of compromise. The process we have witnessed was neither.

Today, I call on Governor Pawlenty to remain open to a truly democratic process and call for a special session. That session must be a respectful process that includes the possibility of multiple options and have the intention of putting our state back on track and easing the considerable pain that the unallotment process will surely bring."

Good intentions, Susan, but GFL. Pawlenty has tunnel vision.

Gaertner has no credibility. She still believes every paranoid delusion that Ramsey County sheriff Bob Fletcher comes up with. It is hard to believe that she herself is truly "open to the democratic process" when she supports Fletcher, pursues charges against those she knows to be innocent, and ignores hard evidence of police felonies.
