DFL House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and DFL Senate Majority Leader Larry Pogemiller wrote a letter to Governor Pawlenty regarding his decision to cut spending on his own. Pawlenty has asked the public, lawmakers and others to give him advice on what programs to cut.
The letter is a bit snarky and urges Pawlenty not to make cuts to core services. They also tell him he'll be "responsible for the repercussions of those actions which we believe will be detrimental to the long-term interests of Minnesota and will continue to keep our state budget in deficit."
Here's the letter.
