Can we just take them to court?

 

 

 

"I hate bullies. Always have. Today's bullies reside inside the Met Council..."

One of the things I continually have been amazed by is how in the world the Met Council stays in business. How they are allowed to survive. They remind me of my youth when a bully would say, "I'm in charge!" If someone would dare ask "Who says?", the bully would yell back, "Me! That is who!" Today's bullies live in an artificial construct which is called the Metropolitan Council.

Like bullies of yester year, this group loves to walk around, chests puffed out, attitude and clenched fists. It is like they are saying, "Go ahead - I dare you to try and stop me!" In a way, they remind me of the Clintons. Even though the Clintons are knee deep in poo, they still dare anyone to stop them. But the Met Council are not the Clintons. The Met Council works for us. This unelected, unregulated and mostly unwanted group of bureaucrats work for us. They are paid by us. It is time to pull in their leash.

By now we all know this group started out as toilet flushers. Then by the magic of "mission creep", we allowed this biped to become a centipede. They have more "authority" now than one could shake a stick at. They have become like the computer in the movie "War Games". And nobody in St. Paul seems to have the recipe on how to tame this beast. Better yet, how to fire them. How to control them. It is time we take this group to court to find our just how much "legal" authority they truly have and just how they received it.

Most know one of the top plays in the Democrat playbook is to create regulators. Have the regulators tucked away neatly under anything statutory. Then, when a tidal wave of regulations are promulgated, they hide under the aegis of the statue. We have seen that in spades with the current Administration in Washington. That Administration is replete with unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats making life miserable for the rest of us.

Enough is enough. As part of the growing number of citizens trying to take back our country, we need to call out this group of posers. No more stacking the deck in this organization by a statist Governor. No more nepotism where the spouse of the Mayor of Minneapolis or Governor's Chief of Staff gets a ticket to ride. No more taxation without representation. No more unconstitutional mandates. No more, no more, no more! 

It seems today the major push back against this group resides in the hinterland of the metro area. That is fine. This is where many of the wagon pullers live. It is time to see our state House strangle this beast. Withhold their funding. Take them to court. Do something. Sunday liquor sales and gun silencers are good ideas, but we need to take care of the 900 pound gorillas first. And the Met Council is one of the biggest apes around.
