| 3. Not really. It was an ugly compromise on both sides. |

Republicans dropped all their social crap (collective bargaining gutting, abortion stuff, stem cell research) and while revenue will be up, it's not from taxes; it's from raiding the tobacco settlement fund and delaying payments to schools. It just kicks the can down the road for two more years; hopefully we can take back the legislature in 2012 and send up a good budget for Dayton to sign.

| 4. No, the Republicans got just what they wanted: no tax cuts, |
|
and no tax cuts was what it really was about for them so they considered that Dayton caved and they won.
Let's all hope that doesn't happen in Washington.
