Housecleaning in Minnesota

"Earlier this month, the nation did a good job of housecleaning. In other words, we threw the bums out. That is most of the bums."

We have a dirty house. No, it is beyond dirty - it is filthy. Not the house I live in, the state I live in. As usual in national elections where there is a mandate declared, Minnesota did not get the message. We prefer to live in our little "bubble" of ignorance. We have an over abundance of "snowflakes", statists and progressives which keep us mired in la-la land. And who is the ringleader of this? Governor Mark "Goofy" Dayton.

Earlier this month, the nation did a good job of housecleaning. In other words, we threw the bums out. That is most of the bums. California will never do it because...well, it is called the land of fruits and nuts for a reason. In fact, both coasts seem to dance to the beat of a different drummer. But Minnesota? We should not. We should be more main steam. Wisconsin gets it. The Dakotas get it. Heck even Iowa gets it. But Minnesota? Time for a housecleaning.

By now we all know about the Governor's temper tantrum yesterday. That does not bother me, as this is just who he is - a trust fund baby (heavy on the baby). But what is happening with the Stadium Commission is very illustrative of what is really happening here. Well healed DFL cronyism. Even our left leaning paper is expressing outrage over this absolute misuse of power. Our Governor? Not a peep. And the morons on the Stadium Commission work for him for crying out loud!

We already have another statist who has thrown her hat in the ring to be our next governor. Please, no more! It is time to elect a change agent. We need a governor who will represent most of the state, not just the very blue Twin Cities proper. The Republicans now have the Minnesota House and Senate. All that is needed now is the governor's job. To finish the housecleaning.

Housecleaning would do the following, much needed tasks:

• MNSure - With the impending demise of the ACA, we need to ditch this worthless portal and do it now. It had done nothing but hemorrhage money since inception.
• Met Council - This group has never heard of "by the people and for the people". They are unelected czars who for some reason yield incredible power. Time to take back out government by showing this group of losers the door.
• Stadium Commission - (same comment as above).
• Tax Reform - Dayton started to really kill this state when he backed one of the highest income tax rates in the country. That needs to be repealed. We need to lower our corporate tax to attract more businesses here. And (this is a big one), we need to stop taxing our seniors on their social security. It is breaking up families by driving the seniors out of state.
• IRRRB - Get rid of it. It is nothing but a cronyism funded money pit.
• Education - Needs major reform. Across the board. We need to get a much better product for much less cost. That includes the university systems. The unholy alliance that exists between Education Minnesota and the Department of Education needs to be eliminated.

It is not too early to look towards 2018. That could be the year of the final housecleaning. I am sick to death of these later day hippies ruining our lives. Get rid of them. Time to be treated like citizens instead of subjects. Time to elect a real governor.
