MN GOP Backs Off Claim That Dayton Proposal "Unconstitutional"

A strange bit of Minneosta Republican political theater wilts under constant questioning from Minnesota Star Tribune reporter Rachel Stassen-Berger. Republicans had issued a document claiming Governor Mark Dayton's proposal to get reports from the House and Senate conference committees on the budget was unconstitutional. Stassen-Berger questions first Representative Matt Dean who brings in Representative Doug Wardlow, who is then rescued by Senator Geoff Michel who also can't answer the question. Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch then tries to explain why it is unconstitutional but can't give an answer. Finally Representative Matt Dean steps in again and backs off of the "unconstitutional claim but says Gov Dayton's approach "new" and likely to fail.

Sen Geoff M& Doug Wardlow.. hurts to look at him, idk if it is bc last night I was drugged against my will and taken to god knows where but I feel like in Minnesota we have less protection than we need. Also, most here are NOT following the Law as I know it, and I know what it should be very well.. and who is this guy, doesn't seem like on of mine. I want a new meeting, I need a town hall and some reorganization this week time to rebuild the staff looks like we have some scallywags abord ship.
