Dayton is a socialist who wants to destroy Minnesota. But, he has agreed to sign the Republican plan to streamline the state’s business permitting process. He even issued an executive order to that effect.
Dayton’s executive order will still be in effect after the Republican plan is law. This executive order is his only chance to sneak in his job-killing and citizen impoverishing intentions. There happens to be a paragraph in Dayton’s executive order that, amid all the praise for Dayton’s bipartisanship, the media doesn’t mention:
“The Commissioner of the Pollution Control Agency shall include, in any statement or need and reasonableness for rules to adopt air quality or hazardous waste or water quality standards, an analysis of proposed standards that are more stringent than similar federal standards including justification for why the standards are needed to protect public health and the environment.”
The Republican plan should nullify this paragraph of Dayton’s executive order.
Communists did not give up with the fall of the Soviet Union. They found a wedge to wreck America: Environmentalism. The more stringent, the more ruinous. Green is the new red.
Tis the time of the decade when young, and old, politicians’ fancies turn to redistricting. Our legislators are tickled pink to get to redraw the boundaries of Minnesota’s congressional, state Senate and state House districts. When the Democrats are in charge, they gerrymander the boundaries to give themselves more representatives. And, when the Republicans are in charge, they gerrymander the boundaries to give themselves more representatives. We could make this process fairer with a state constitutional amendment requiring district shapes to look more like boxes, and less like snakes. The DFL thinks that the U.S. Constitution says that the federal government can tell a state how to redistrict; but, only when they’re not in charge.

Are you serious? You really think he wants to destroy Minnesota and kill jobs? Please stop writing to the paper. You may convince other people of your idiotic and detrimental views.
Some real water for those Tea Parties
Mr Maxfield is right to denounce those panty waste socialists who want to deny us the right to helpings of mercury and benzene in our water supply. All those water treatment plants are for sissies.
Gov. Dayton is a socialist
Bill, Bill, Bill.
Seriously!
You just can't hide crazy!
Every Village Has An Idiot
Apparently Bill Maxfield holds that job in Aitkin
where's the like button?
oh, that's Face Book,
glad to see that people are not buying Bill's whack job letter....
Bill probably thinks Obama was born in Kenya and is a Muslim.
Alterego
Bill is simply the alter ego of A. Martin and Fishhead. They all are a sandwich short of a picnic basket.
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
The language of Dayton's executive order simply provides that if the Pollution Control Agency proposes a rule regarding air or water quality which is more stringent than existing federal standards, the Agency must ALSO compare the standards in other states and justify the need for such a rule.
This has somehow convinced Will Bill Maxfield that the Commies are coming and the skies are falling.
Go figure.
Mission
You and I have both been reading these blogs long enough to know that it doesn't take much on either side to be convinced that the sky is falling.
My take on Gov. Dayton is that he's a liberal, nothing more nothing less, but he is our governor duly elected and we must work within those parameters. The advantage with winning an election is you get to dictate policy as long as you can keep the majority happy. Gov. Dayton's ideas for governing the State may be different than those that voted against him but I don't truly believe that he would do anything to harm the State.
Well said Lifelong
You're right of course...there is indeed no shortage of Chicken Littles. No surprise there.
What IS a surprise is that Brainerd's newspaper of record would publish on its web pages the ravings of Mr. Maxfield under the libelous headline "Dayton is a socialist".
How true!
I agree a little more literary editing might be in order.
Turned tables.
Will Dayton have the same target on his back that Tpaw had ?
Will there be enough pork on the table to satisfy those who's diet become dependent on it or will they have to adjust to a diet of crow?
Every politician has a target on their back!
You will always be the target of your oppostion the trick is not to become a target of your supporters.
the trick...
then will be to mix the pork with crow, then process it into hot dogs and sausages.

Did you check the Notify me box at the bottom?

Well 'barnet69', show me one of those "libelous comments".
Bills position
Isn't it interesting that when someone makes a statement in this "OPINION / OPEN FORUM" page the rediculous responses we get. No, don't think I mean only by the libs, because it comes from all sides. We have been afforded the right to free speech and if someone has an opinion which differs from what they have read, then why not respond showing how their opinion differs. That does not mean that we should demean the writer, but it means that we with factual data should rebut without trying to make a fool of the person you disagree with! Remenber, respond with facts!
