I wrote a piece for Mary Lahammer’s new session groupblog thinger called the Brain Trust - Deep thoughts from opinion leaders. Nothing too serious, she tosses out some questions and I’m supposed to come up with a couple paragraphs every couple weeks. Sounded like something different, sounded fun…

How does one measure success in the Minnesota State Legislature this upcoming session? Ask a DFLer, and you’ll hear three things - education, health care and property taxes. Ask a Minnesota Republican and you’ll probably hear tax-relief for owners of pontoon boats exceeding 28’ in length, puttin’ a stop to the gay marryin’, and trying to forget the brutal thumping they just endured at the hands of shifty liberal-to-moderate DFLers.

So you can read my post, ‘On the Relativity of Legislative Accomplishment’ here.
