    Governor Tim Pawlenty promised

    not to raise taxes as Governor.

    He ignored voters and found a loophole in the law so that the new Twins stadium never was presented as a referendum for voters.

    Now we are stuck with a plan, approved by the Governor - in fact, promoted by this governor to build a stadium for the Twins.

    The plan, implemented by the state and enacted by Hennepin County, adds a sales tax to Hennepin County that will cost residents an average of $25 per family per year. Thank you governor. You make me feel good about a decision I made on election day in 1998 to vote for an independent candidate. Put plainly, you make your predecessor look good.
