Kelliher blasts Pawlenty
Speaker Kelliher
House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher, DFL-Minneapolis, sounds more and more like a candidate.
A couple of days after Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who is not running for re-election next year, announced cuts he would make to balance the state budget, Kelliher said it was just "kicking the can down to road," leaving a hole billions of dollars big for the next governor.
"This is the governor's gift to the state, which is a permanent deficit situation," Kelliher said. "I can understand why he would want to cut and run."
