To the editor:
Is there a reasonable, common sense, legitimate and justifiable explanation as to why the Minnesota House Democrats continue to allow a single authority to delegitimize the legislative process in dealing with this, so called, epidemic that has more than a 98% survival rate? The continuation of these votes in the upper house and lower house opposing each other gets us no where.
If this is truly the crisis that it is claimed to be and we are now being told that we are in for a “dark winter”, what the hell have they done for the past 10 months? Shouldn’t we be showing some positive progress by now? Seems the governor and most of the other upper crust of the Democrat Party is the cause of the “dark winter” they speak of.
