Star Tribune reports - "ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is heading to Europe this weekend.
Pawlenty's office says he flies to Madrid Sunday and on to London on Wednesday as part of a trade mission."
It is nice to know Pawlenty decides to leave the state, right when our economy is hurting. Apparently the projected budget shortfall doesn't mean anything, and a trade mission is in hand. We can spend unsaid amounts of money travelling but can't fund budget priorities. Looks like Pawlenty isn't worried bout job security.
He's just converting all his dollars into euros, so who cares if the dollar is hurting! That plane trip over there should inflate the price of energy more and who cares if he leaves a DFL congress with no one to sign the bills? Maybe he's just going for some alone time because the RP choose Palin over him. Ha! Whatever the reason, unless this trip creates jobs, I just see another Republican abandoning the economy that they have campaigned on so hard in the past. I guess once the 35w bridge was done, he just wanted to take a vacation for the rest of the year. Didn't anyone tell him that's not the only road that needs work?
