[eyepaddle]

but after reading all the posts in this thread it has become clear to me the route which Minnesota is headed down.

Using a sports metaphor (seems apt here)

One team (an odd coalition of liberals and anti-tax activists) will stop a stadium from being built, and another (here pretty much just the anti-tax folks) team will stop us from ever investing in healthcare, education, transit, shelter for the homeless. End result: a lot of angry and agitated people expending large quantities of energy for the net result of nothing changing.

About the best result I can foresee is if we all of sudden make this easy on oursleves and quietly get used to being, sick, uneducated, bored people, who have to drive themselves everywhere they want to go. Although reasons for going anywhere become murky.......
