Wait till socialist-communist Dayton takes over as governor for it to be the final deathblow.I live 180 miles north of Minneapolis and this is where the liberal mafia in the form of big labor is located and they work hand in hand with the academic ellitist liberal mafia in Minneapolis.I was detoured heading north on I-35 last week right after the snow storm into the neighborhoods of Minneapolis.It's like a violent 3rd world full of immigrants,Illegals.etc.from all over the world like Somolia.etc.Minnesota liberals turned this state into the welfare state long ago and all the small companies had to leave.etc.It's a social experiment that went bad.All you have now in Minneapolis are streets full of abstract art galleries,coffee houses and delicate pink little bistros that are government supported next to the boondoggle high speed rail and such.There is a state run ski hill-golf course near me that sucks up tax dollars to hire democrat cronies and now they are imposing a sales tax in my area to help it out in tough times.Pure socialism in Minnesota.The Scandanavians in the twin cities and the eastern europeans where I live brought it over here like they colonized the state.

Note to self: When socialists-communists govern Minnessota the weather will get even worse.
