Minority Leader Zellers Responds to Unallotment Suit Ruling
ST. PAUL, January 22, 2010 – ST. PAUL, December 31, 2009 – Minnesota House Republican Minority Leader Kurt Zellers (Maple Grove) said today Judge Gearin’s initial ruling on the unallotment lawsuit will force Minnesota Democrats to get serious in 2010 about the responsibilities they ignored in 2009. He also said that this political dispute deserves a solution from the legislative chambers and the Governor, not espoused from an activist judge making law and ‘practice-budgeting’ from the bench.
“We are in this position because of failed leadership by the DFL in the 2009 Legislative Session and their inability to produce a fiscally responsible budget. We should be using the 2010 session to improve Minnesota’s job climate and expand economic opportunity, but now it appears we will still have to deal with the budget problems Democrats were unwilling and unable to address last session,” said Zellers.
“We applaud Governor Pawlenty’s leadership and his dedication to fiscal responsibility. Looking forward, the House Republican Caucus is committed to a budget that is balanced and sustainable and does no harm to the Minnesota economy,” said Zellers. “Our New Year's Resolution is to end the pandemic of uncertainty about tax increases and new government regulations that is preventing economic recovery. We will continue to offer ways to improve the economy and put job creators and families in the best position for prosperity in 2010 and beyond.”
