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.
