"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians."

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

Let us pray…
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

For your consideration…
"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

Fully aware of the burden this places on families, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said last week that the price hikes are "a matter of pain" for Iran. But he also urged people not to complain, telling them: "If you say ouch, the arrogant ones will say they have achieved their goal. So be patient, and make them regret it."
So far, the Iranian public has proven patient, in part because of widespread support for the nation's nuclear program, which is a source of pride for many in Iran, regardless of their political leanings.
"Westerners said the sanctions have aimed at halting nuclear activities. But they have targeted our families and children," said Abbas Heidar, a 32-year-old teacher in Tehran. "The government is continuing its nuclear activities and I do not expect it stop."
Iranian officials, meanwhile, scrambled Sunday to present the government as actively working to ease any hardship the sanctions might bring.
Central bank governor Mahmoud Bahmani told the semiofficial Mehr news agency that Iran has "plans" to deal with the embargo and enough hard currency to meet its import needs.
"We have not remained passive. To confront the sanctions, we have plans in progress," Bahmani said without elaborating.
Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Ghasemi ordered his staff to "mobilize" against the sanctions, according to Mehr. It did not elaborate.
Ghasemi also sought to boost public morale, telling state television late Saturday that Iran has weathered previous rounds of sanctions.
"I do not see it as a problem that enemies have imposed an embargo today," he said. "They have imposed similar sanctions years ago, and nothing happened."
He said Iran has already halted oil sales to many EU countries, and had found new buyers to replace them.
"Developing countries and countries with fast economic growth have no alternative to oil. Fortunately, because of the quality of our country's oil, all are interested in using it," he said.
Mehr published its own analysis listing measures that Iran could take to counter the sanctions, including shutting the vital Strait of Hormuz. The semiofficial news agency's editorials sometimes reflect views held by top Iranian officials who do not wish to state them publically.
On Sunday, however, Iran's Defense Minister Gen. Ahmad Vahidi made statements to the official IRNA news agency about the strait in which he did not mention any plans to close it — remarks that suggest that Iran is playing down the threat in dealings with the West.
Vahidi said Iran is the main protector of the waterway, and that Tehran "has confronted anybody who tried to endanger the Strait."
Mehr also suggested that Iran could make use of hard currencies other than the U.S. dollar and the euro, form its own insurance syndicate to replace foreign companies that withdraw from the market, store up oil in tanks for later sale so as not to cut production, or simply reduce oil production to save its reserves for the future.

From 880g to a bonny babe
Relevant offers
Baby Tristan Ma weighed less than two blocks of butter and had hands the size of finger nails when he was born.
The incubator that acted like his mother's womb after he was delivered is why he is here today.
Hauraki couple Vanessa and Quincy Ma conceived Tristan through IVF after many failed attempts at a natural pregnancy.
"He is probably the most prayed for baby in the country," Mrs Ma says.
"It took so long to get him but he certainly didn't have the start we expected he would have."
Mrs Ma was admitted to hospital at 26 weeks for heavy bleeding and was confined to bed.
She was forced to undergo an emergency caesarean section one week later and Tristan was taken immediately to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Starship Hospital.
"I was under general anaesthetic so I don't remember. The first thing I can recall is when they wheeled my bed up alongside his incubator later that night," Mrs Ma says.
Tristan weighed just 880 grams at birth and spent 73 days in an incubator during which time the parents say they were on tenterhooks.
"You do feel a bit robbed and a bit guilty that I couldn't carry him to full
term and give him the best start in life. It was very touch and go, we worried about him for months," Mrs Ma says.
Tristan's parents held vigil nearby, making sure to feed, bathe and change his nappies every three hours.
"We had to be really careful because his skin was so incredibly thin, it was almost translucent," Mrs Ma says.
The day he was allowed out of the incubator, was the best feeling, she says.
"I could finally put clothes on him and let him sleep in his own cot. It was a relief to know he was definitely coming home."
Incubators are the most heavily used and vital pieces of equipment in the unit, NICU charge nurse manager Dale Garton says.
Barfoot and Thompson real estate has gifted six more state-of-the-art incubators to support the 900 premature babies admitted to NICU each year.
Its staff from Auckland to Northland have raised $133,000 this year.

Published by Nintendo, Developed by Level 5
Genres: Sports / RPG (1-2 players)
US release date: - | EU release date: -
Prepare for all-out action in this home console sibling to the popular handheld football RPGs. This time, arcade-style action brings the series to life like never before as the stadiums, the characters and their spectacular Special Moves become playable on the big screen, looking exactly like fans of the TV series have come to expect.
Take part in a series of competitions that represent Raimon Jr High team's rise through the ranks, playing through the most significant team encounters of the TV series - some of which haven't even aired yet! You can also build your entire team from scratch. New players can be scouted from any team you defeat, but it'll take a hefty sum of Inazuma Points and a pitch-perfect eye to shape a team of champions.
Each of the over 150 characters from the series has their own specific strengths, and as you pit players together they'll grow bonds that improve certain skills even further. Respect the power of team play and you'll even be able to pull off powerful Co-op Moves! As you win more matches, you'll be able to unleash ever more impressive Special Moves to stop your opponent in his tracks or go straight for the goal yourself. The level and element of two opposing moves decides who comes out victorious!
Inazuma Eleven Strikers offers plenty of challenge for solo players and even more fun for up to four friends in local multiplayer! Whether you work together as a team or challenge each other in 2 vs. 2 or 1 vs. 3, in single matches or fully-fledged tournaments - it's your call! A second player can even take on different supporting roles by acting as a Coach or a Manager.
Inazuma Eleven Strikers has no review on Wii's World.

One airlifted to Vegas after GV crash
This 1987 Dodge Dakota rolled in the desert Friday after its driver misjudged a curve on Shinarump Drive in Golden Valley.
By Ahron Sherman
A 50-year-old Golden Valley man failed to negotiate a curve Friday on Shinarump Drive approximately two miles west of Oatman Road and ended up traveling 200 feet off the paved road and rolling the 1987 Dodge Dakota truck he was driving.
Mohave County Sheriff's Office
and Golden Valley Fire Department responded to the accident at about 11:40 a.m. Friday and found the driver, Timothy Laine Morgan, outside the vehicle lying on the ground. He had not been wearing his seatbelt.
The vehicle's passenger, 60-year-old Wayne Layton Gosselin of Golden Valley, was found sitting in the vehicle's passenger seat. He had been wearing his seatbelt, said MCSO spokeswoman Trish Carter.
The accident is currently under investigation, and speed may be a factor, Carter said. A sample of Morgan's blood was taken and will be analyzed as well.
"(Morgan) was possibly driving a little too fast," Carter said.
The posted speed limit in the area is 45 mph.
Both men were transported by ambulance to the Kingman Regional Medical Center, and Gosselin was later airlifted to Sunrise Medical Center in Las Vegas.
The driver possibly suffered several broken ribs and the passenger may have sustained some fractures to his back, Carter said.

Record Heat: Avant-Garde by Brad Dwyer
Brad Dwyer
Yesterday, while cleaning my apartment (too rare an occurrence, lemme tell you) I listened to a recent broadcast of Henry Rollins' excellent radio show on KCRW.
Rollins is a man of many talents: In addition to his excellent program, he writes for our sister paper, LA Weekly, and he tours the world (he'll be in Tucson on Thursday). One of the things I love about his radio show is the utter diversity.
The radio blaring, I found myself wondering what the neighbors might think as The Mae Shi bled into Fats Waller & His Rhythm, or during the extended run of German Krautrock (for lack of a better term) tunes from CAN, Conrad Schnitzler, Tangerine Dream, Kluster, and Kraftwerk.
None of this has much to do with Brad Dwyer's strip this week, "Avant-Garde," other than the fact that Rollins might spin something like Dwyer's proposed collaboration. You know, depending on his level of sleep deprivation.

News coverage favors legalization of gay marriage, Pew study shows
Andy Clayton King, Associated Press
NEW YORK — Around the time the U.S. Supreme Court was considering the same-sex marriage issue, news reports had more comments from supporters than opponents, a study released Monday concluded.
The Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism looked at nearly 500 stories on the topic over a two-month period that began just before the court started hearings in March on legalizing same-sex marriage. By a 5-to-1 margin, the stories with statements in support of legalization outweighed those dominated by opponents' views.
Pew said the results were in large part because many of the stories were about polls showing societal attitudes swiftly moving toward support for gay marriage, or about politicians announcing their support. A disciplined approach by supporters was also a factor, Pew found.
"Certainly it is evident in these findings the degree to which supporters of same-sex marriage were largely successful in getting their message out in a clear way, a consistent way, across a wide swath of the news media," said Amy Mitchell, acting director of the project.
Supporters primarily defined the issue as one of civil rights. At the same time, Pew said, opponents haven't coalesced behind a single argument but instead posed many: homosexuality is immoral; same-sex marriage hurts families or society; civil unions are good enough; or government should not impose a new definition of marriage.
The findings were consistent across different media. For instance, 43 percent of newspaper stories showed at least a 2-to-1 margin of pro views to con, 8 percent were dominated by opponents and 48 percent were largely neutral, Pew said. The proportions of supporter-opponent content in stories for all three cable news networks were similar.
Twenty-nine percent of the stories by Fox News Channel, which appeals to conservatives, were dominated by supporters, 8 percent by opponents and 63 percent had about the same pro and con views, Pew said.
While the nation's attitudes have been shifting, a recent Pew Research Center survey found that 51 percent of the public favored legalizing same-sex marriage and 42 percent opposed it.
Pew found that Twitter postings were more closely aligned with public opinion than news coverage. Tweets were about the same between positive and negative, with the greater proportion of negative comments coming directly after the Supreme Court began hearing arguments.
Mitchell demurred when asked whether the study provided evidence for conservatives who believe that news media opinions tilt left.
"I don't think the study can necessarily speak to that one way or another," she said.

Archive for the 'Transportation' Category
This weekend, I wrote that I was skeptical of reports that a special session would be called this August. After reading Don Davis' article, I'm hoping that a special session only happens if Republicans stand steadfast against SWLRT.
In the article, Sen. Bakk thinks that, with regards to SWLRT, "there appear to be some alternatives available." Here's hoping that Speaker Daudt shoots that down immediately and harshly. Anything that gets SWLRT built is unacceptable. Any Bakk-favored alternative should be shown the door in as hostile a manner as possible.
LRT projects are a disaster. If communities want to build them, let them build them with their tax revenues. Then let them subsidize their operations with their property taxes or their sales taxes. Talk that the business community wants them isn't justification for building SWLRT. If businesses think LRT is so fantastic, let them pay for building them.
The dirty little secret is that LRT isn't worthwhile except if taxpayers build it and subsidize its operations. Even then, these projects benefit the few while hurting others. Ask the displaced businesses in St. Paul if they're fans of LRT. Hint: when asking that question, wear a bullet-proof vest.
There is some good news in the negotiations:
Dayton said he is more optimistic than ever that there will be a special session. "Where there is a will, there is a way." The governor said he gave up all spending he earlier wanted to come up in a special session other than work needed on sex offender facilities and at the state hospital in St. Peter.
That's the benefit of steadfastly saying no to unreasonable spending demands. Give Speaker Daudt and Sen. Hann and their caucuses credit for that. It wouldn't have been possible if members of their caucus had left their reservation.
That's why Speaker Daudt needs to return to that position and why Sen. Hann needs to be given the title of majority leader. Conservatives would applaud them shutting down Gov. Dayton's reckless spending demands. Minnesota's economy would improve by not having the legislature and the governor pile tons of new regulation on small businesses, too.
Technorati: Tom Bakk, Mark Dayton, Special Session, SWLRT, DFL, Kurt Daudt, Bonding Bill, Negotiations, MNGOP, Election 2016
According to this article, Sen. Bakk, Speaker Daudt and Gov. Dayton are close to an agreement on a special session. I question the accuracy of that statement.
The article opens by saying "A special Minnesota legislative session to approve tax cuts, transportation projects and public works construction could happen in a month, but the governor and key legislators are not quite ready to promise that." Notice the hint that all is not well? Saying that "the governor and key legislators are not quite ready to promise that" set off red flags with me. Several paragraphs later, my suspicions were vindicated.
The vindication came when the article said a "major unresolved issue continues to be whether to approve a light rail line from downtown Minneapolis to the southwestern suburbs." That's indisputable. That's the line Republicans shouldn't cross under any circumstances. It's the Minnesota equivalent to the infamous Bridge to Nowhere.
Speaker Daudt needs to realize that he's sitting in the power position. I'm betting that DFL candidates aren't popular because Gov. Dayton vetoed a major tax cut bill. Bakk and Dayton aren't striking a more conciliatory tone because they're altruistic. They're striking a more conciliatory tone because they aren't getting the response they'd hoped for.
Speaker Daudt, Sen. Hann and all Republicans should stand steadfast against the SWLRT project. If metro DFL legislators object, fine. Republicans don't need to flip urban seats to flip the Senate. They need to flip seats in rural Minnesota. That's where the tax cut bill is popular. If DFL candidates and incumbents want to defend Gov. Dayton's veto of the Tax Bill, Republicans should rejoice that the DFL is giving them that gift.
Further, I'd encourage Republican House and Senate candidates to highlight the fact that the DFL put broadband and SWLRT at the top of their priority list and that Republicans put gutting taxes on farmers, the middle class, the military and small businesses at the top of their priority list.
Let's fight that fight on our side of the battlefield. Let's see if the DFL is capable of fighting that fight. I'm betting they'll lose that fight by a significant margin.

Ron Kresha represents Little Falls in the House of Representatives. Rep. Kresha is the incumbent running for re-election in District 9B. (The main cities in Rep. Kresha's district are Little Falls, Long Prairie and Pierz.) It's safe to say that HD-9B is a district with tons of farmers. Though the district has changed since I last visited the area, I'm still able to identify most of the cities and towns in the District.
Now that I've laid out the history of the district, let's dive into the editorial Rep. Kresha's opponent wrote. Rep. Kresha's opponent made a point of saying "I will listen to farmers. I will stand up for our farmers, and I will fight for our farmers because I know that without them, our communities would not survive. As state representative, I will make sure our farmers are not forgotten in St. Paul. That is why I am running as the Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidate. I want to shed light on the struggles our farmers deal with and thank them for their hard work."
Of course, Rep. Kresha's opponent had to throw in the cheap shot of saying "My opponent in Minnesota House 9B has done very little to preserve farms and to make certain farmers are treated like the first-class citizens they are."
With all due respect, the DFL hasn't done much to help farmers. The DFL opposes building pipelines that would free up rail space so farmers could get their crops to market faster. In fact, the DFL is ruled by environmental activists who love regulating farms to death. Metro Democrats tried and succeeded in killing a major proposed farming operation in western Minnesota through the use of the now-defunct Citizens Advisory Board. The DFL killed this proposed farming operation so Republicans killed the advisory board because "the Citizens Board had stopped projects that had gotten their MPCA permits."
Does anyone seriously think Rep. Thissen will let Rep. Kresha's opponent fight for farmers? There's a better chance that the king's horses and king's men will put Humpty Dumpty back together again than there is of Rep. Thissen will let any pro-farmer legislation get a committee hearing. If you're living in rural Minnesota, voting for the DFL is a wasted voted.

Julia Erynn's articleprovides proof that the people closest to light rail projects don't like them. Ms. Erynn's article starts by saying "Dozens of business owners in St. Paul are speaking out against a light rail addition to West 7th St, placing signs in their windows urging patrons to sign a petition against the additional mass transit" then adding "The local business owners fear growing crime rates (which are proven along light rail routes), loss of parking for customers, and loss of revenue."
That's fantastic. Crime increases and taxpayers subsidize the criminals' 'getaway car'. I don't know the specifics of this neighborhood but I know that other neighborhoods affected by light rail have been decimated because they've relied on walk-up business. Light rail demolishes that business model. Why can't city planners leave well enough alone? Why do they have to side with the special interests all of the time?
As bad as that is, this is worse:
Several of the local owners say they feel they are not involved enough in the decision making process.
This information isn't surprising either:
Alpha News has reached out to local lawmakers Senator Sandy Pappas (DFL) and Representative Carlos Mariani and have yet to receive comment.
Why would elected officials think that they need to be accountable? What St. Paul needs is their STPexit.
When it comes to dishonest DFL politicians, Paul Thissen is in the conversation. Though he isn't at the top of the list, he's certainly part of the conversation. Yesterday, Rep. Thissen issued this statement. To be fair to Rep. Thissen, there were fragments of truth in his statement.
For instance, Rep. Thissen was sort of right in saying "Republicans have refused to provide any compromise offers to get needed tax, bonding and budget bills passed in a special session." I say sort of right because they're sticking with the House bill, which included lots of DFL priorities in it. I wrote this article to highlight the amount of compromise included in the House bonding/transportation bill. I included a lengthy quote from Sen. David Hann in the article. He was clearly and justifiably upset with Gov. Dayton's refusal to drop any of his demands. Here's what Sen. Hann said:
I would just reiterate that the bills that we had on the last day of session were compromise bills. Go back again. Look at the tape. Look at Sen. Stumpf talking about the bonding/transportation bill. He called it a "true compromise between Republicans and Democrats." The Speaker has pointed out that half of that bill, more than half of it, had the Governor's priorities in it. And now we're supposedly at a point where all of those compromises are off the table and we've got another $243,000,000 of additional spending that we are being asked to do without any backing away from that number — an additional couple hundred million in bonding.
And all of this is kind of in complete denial of all of the compromise work that had gone on this entire last session. This is what I find so remarkable. I think it is a setback. Why, after a whole session and actually going back to the session before of talking about some of these issues, to now have a bill get killed at the last minute with a request for a light rail project that no one had ever seen a hearing on and now, that becomes a must have and they say we have to start over and renegotiate everything, I think it is a setback.
Rep. Thissen, why should Republicans offer additional compromises when Gov. Dayton refuses to move a square centimeter from his post-session positions? Rep. Thissen apparently thinks that Republicans should always compromise and that DFL politicians don't ever have to compromise.
Later in his statement, Rep. Thissen said "If House Republicans were serious about doing the job they were elected to do, they wouldn't be bringing controversial new policy into the discussion at this stage." That's rich. The only reason we're in this position is because a handful of DFL senators amended the House bonding/transportation bill with less than 10 minutes left in the session to include a provision for funding for the Southwest Light Rail project. That provision was controversial. It wasn't discussed in any House or Senate committee hearings. As Sen. Hann points out, "now it becomes a must have and we have to start over and renegotiate everything."
It's time Speaker Daudt and Sen. Hann turned up the heat on Gov. Dayton for killing the Tax Bill, then refusing the legislature to fix it. Gov. Dayton said he wouldn't hold the Tax Bill hostage. I guess he meant he wouldn't hold it hostage until he started using it as leverage in negotiations. Here's why that's important.
Gov. Dayton wants to increase the size of the bonding bill by more than 40% over the House bonding/transportation bill. Further, he wants $243,000,000 worth of additional spending for the Twin Cities added to a new supplemental appropriations bill after signing a major supplemental appropriations bill a month ago.
In other words, Gov. Dayton is insisting on getting everything he's wanted from the start of the regular session. Republicans need to expose him for the autocrat that he is. Similarly, they need to expose the DFL as the party who hasn't negotiated in good faith and that aren't interested in doing what's right for Minnesotans. Here's Rep. Thissen's statement:

The SC Times Editorial Board isn't as unflinchingly liberal as the Strib's Editorial Board but it's a close second in Minnesota. This editorial isn't the worst that they've published but it's still a cheerleading editorial.
For instance, this editorial says "Earlier, the Times Editorial Board gave this advice to Gov. Mark Dayton: Don't call a special session. Make the lawmakers deal with the consequences of failing to find agreement on some major legislation." Clearly, the Times Editorial Board is picking Gov. Dayton's side. It's as if they're absolving him of any responsibility for the trainwreck.
Gov. Dayton isn't innocent in all this. He's the idiot that vetoed the Tax Bill that would've provided tax relief to small businesses, farmers, students with crushing student loan debt, parents trying to save for their kids' college education and military veterans. Is the Times Editorial Board cheering this disastrous decision? That's what it looks like.
Dayton's glum status report: "We're moving backward."
Gov. Dayton ought to know. He's the politician who's moving things backwards. During the session, he signed a supplemental spending bill. It wasn't for nearly the amount that he'd originally wanted. Gov. Dayton is now insisting that a special session won't be called until Speaker Daudt agrees to give him the rest of his spending request.
Thankfully, Speaker Daudt rejected that demand. Meanwhile, the Times apparently doesn't care that hard-working blue collar people have gotten deprived of tax relief thanks to the actions of a spoiled trust fund liberal. Listen to Sen. Hann's opening statement in this video. It's quite compelling:
Dayton's limousine liberalism and his my-way-or-the-highway negotiating style sends the clear message that he puts his ideology ahead of doing the right thing for Minnesotans. Lumped in with that is the DFL itself.
Sen. Hann noted the bipartisan nature of the bonding/transportation bill. Now Gov. Dayton wants to essentially start over and include all of his priorities while refusing to accept Republicans' proposals. That's what obstructionist liberalism looks like.
Let's be clear. If Sen. Bakk were a profile in courage, he'd break with Gov. Dayton and insist that Gov. Dayton call a special session to fix the Tax Bill. The fact that he's stayed silent says everything.
Finally, why has Gov. Dayton and the DFL insisted on a bonding bill that funds Southwest Light Rail? Twin Cities progressives insist that it's needed. They've never explained why it's needed. That hasn't mattered to the Times. Like an obedient puppy, they've refrained from asking important questions. That isn't surprising, especially considering the Times' puppy dog reputation.

It wouldn't be a special session if the DFL's special interest allies didn't suddenly rush out of the woodwork like they're doing now. This morning, legislative leaders met with Gov. Dayton and Lt. Gov. Tina Flint-Smith. PBS's Mary Lahammer tweeted that negotiations are underway. Meanwhile, David Montgomery is reporting that the meeting is over. Montgomery quoted Speaker Daudt as saying "I'm still optimistic we'll get to a special session. It may take some time."
That's probably right. I suspect that the DFL won't cave until they start seeing how poorly they're doing in outstate districts in the House and Senate. That's the point at which they'll have their 'come to Jesus' meeting with Gov. Dayton. It would be embarrassing for the DFL to thrown out of the majority in the Senate in the year Hillary cleans Trump's clock in Minnesota. Still, that's a distinct possibility.
The array of DFL special interests this morning was impressive in a depressing way. Transportation Forward put together a rally. Check out their list of DFL special interest "Coalition Partners". I've made this graphic showing the environmental organizations on Transportation Forward's "Coalition Partners":
Organizations highlighted are hardline environmental activist organizations.
Here's some other Coalition Partners:
Transportation Forward's special interest allies have made it essentially impossible to negotiate a deal for a special session. That's disappointing.

When this year's legislative session ended, the CW was that the DFL held the upper hand in the PR/campaign fight. Whether that was true or not at the time isn't relevant anymore. What's relevant is who's fought the smartest fight to this point. This statement hammers home some important points.
In total, it says "House Republicans did their job this year, negotiated in good faith and passed bipartisan bills on the priorities most important to Minnesotans. Unfortunately, Senate Democrats and Gov. Dayton deliberately obstructed progress. First, Senate Democrats blocked funding for transportation and infrastructure, then Governor Dayton vetoed tax relief for working families, college students, parents, farmers, and veterans. If Gov. Dayton knew he was going to veto the tax bill, he should have done it a long time ago and called a special session right away. Now the election is ramping up and the political environment will get in the way of honest compromises. We are willing to hold a special session. We agree with Gov. Dayton's requests in the tax relief bill, and we should pass the bipartisan compromise transportation and infrastructure bill that was agreed to on the last day of session. We are not going to rehash the whole session by repeating negotiations on half a billion dollars of new spending demands."
The DFL has talked solely about process, talking about the end of session. Republicans have talked about Gov. Dayton vetoing the Tax Bill, then questioning why Gov. Dayton decided to hurt veterans, farmers, college students, parents saving for their kids' college education and small businesses.
I won't say that people don't care about process. If I were a betting man, though, I'd bet that people care more about getting tax relief. If the DFL thinks that they're winning that fight, I hope they keep thinking that.
The DFL is also highlighting the line 'If the Twin Cities wants to raise the money to build SWLRT, they should be able to.' I'd agree to that statement only if the DFL agreed that the metro also paid for the annual operating deficits, too.
The DFL needs to pick up seats in exurban and rural Minnesota. Arguing that tax relief for farmers, veterans and small businesses hinges on a metro project is exceptional stupid politics on the DFL's part.

Saying that this editorial doesn't have a pro-DFL tone to it is understatement. Let's start with where the editorialist says "when Gov. Mark Dayton pocket vetoed HF 848 which would've provided significant tax relief to the citizens of Minnesota, it sort of felt like something major was lost."
I don't think Gov. Dayton realizes that his veto of the Tax Bill is killing the DFL. When the editorialist writes "Gone was tax relief for veterans, gone was tax relief for small business owners, gone was a tax break for farmers, gone was a tax break for the residents of Houston County who live in Minnesota but work in Wisconsin, gone was the forgiveness of interest paid on debt on the new school building." he listed all of the groups of people who were hurt by Gov. Dayton's veto. That's a devastating paragraph.
It's even more damaging to the DFL when the editorialist adds "All because the governor wanted additional monies for a light rail line in Minneapolis. Two years of hard, hard work by Rep. Greg Davids (Rep. Preston) on the bill dissolved by the governor not signing the measure into law." This places the blame for Minnesotans not getting tax relief squarely on Gov. Dayton's shoulders. People won't care about the drafting error. Their response is likely to be 'Call a special session and fix it then.'
Contrary to popular opinion, Republicans aren't the ones at risk. The DFL is. While Gov. Dayton and the DFL whines about the end-of-session process, Republicans talk about the tax cuts that Gov. Dayton vetoed. In a messaging fight of end-of-session process vs. DFL vetoed tax relief, tax relief wins by a wide margin. If the DFL thinks that's a fair fight, I'll agree. It's as fair a fight as I'd like.
Davids, when receiving the phone call from the governor of his plan to veto it, worked to appeal to their friendship. The governor chose politics.
That's as surprising as finding out that the sun rises in the east. There's more:
The Republicans came up from $600 million to $950 million in the bonding bill that would've addressed transportation needs in the state. Davids said anything over $1 billion jeopardizes the state's bond rating. The governor wants $1.5 billion with about $600 million going towards a new light rail line in the metro.
Gov. Dayton is foolish if he thinks Republicans will cave on SWLRT funding. Like I said earlier, Republicans are in the stronger position. The DFL is sitting in a position of weakness, especially in outstate Minnesota.
People living in outstate Minnesota won't care if SWLRT is funded. They'll care that Gov. Dayton vetoed their tax relief. The longer this drags out, the better it is for Republicans. That's because they're fighting for fixing roads and bridges and significant tax relief.
That's a winner for the GOP and then some.
Technorati: Mark Dayton, Pocket Veto, Bonding Bill, Tax Bill, SWLRT, Special Session, DFL, Greg Davids, Farmers, Veterans, Small Businesses, Property Tax Relief, Student Loan Debt, MNGOP, Election 2016
The special session that everyone wants to have hinges on 2 things: Gov. Dayton's insistence on more spending in the general budget and funding of the SWLRT. Of the two, it's thought that funding SWLRT is the higher priority for Gov. Dayton and the DFL.
That makes sense since they're the metro party. They aren't the party that puts a high priority on roads and bridges. They're the party that sees transportation through the lens of using transportation as a tool for social engineering.
If there is a special session, there's no doubt that the Tax Bill will be fixed, passed and signed. If Gov. Dayton vetoes it again, that veto will be put up for an override vote, which would pass overwhelmingly. The DFL doesn't dare sustain Gov. Dayton's veto this close to the election. That would be political suicide.
But I digress. Back to the transportation section of the bonding bill. Republicans should be the 'party of no' on SWLRT funding. In return, they could throw in a few more dollars for traditional transit. They should, however, be steadfast in their opposition to funding SWLRT.
If Gov. Dayton and the DFL pick SWLRT as their hill to fight and die on, then Republicans should take them up on that offer. That fight would strengthen every exurban and rural GOP incumbent and challenger immensely. It would simultaneously weaken every DFL legislator and challenger, too. This is one of the few times when politics is a zero-sum proposition.
Beyond the special session, though, Republicans should make a concerted effort to explain why the gas tax is obsolete as a funding method for fixing Minnesota's roads and bridges. Though this op-ed talks about Wisconsin's transportation situation, the same principles apply:
Wisconsinites are going farther on the same gallon of gas than they were even 10 years ago. This trend will not be reversing. The number of vehicles on the road has been stable since the beginning of the decade. The state cannot count on more vehicles on the road to make up for fewer gallons needed per vehicle. Furthermore, add in new vehicles that do not use gas or use very little like hybrids, fuel cells, and all electric, the future of gas tax revenue becomes clear to anyone with a basic understanding of mathematics.
The gas tax has reached the point of diminishing return. Increases in the gas tax will not provide the all the desired additional revenues the legislators, transportation bureaucrats, and road builders hope for. When you raise the price of something, you get less of it. When gasoline was $4.00 per gallon, people drove less than they do now at $2.50. Drivers also gravitated to more fuel efficient options or options that do not use gasoline at all. These options will only get more abundant as the technology improves.
In 2008, the DFL promised that raising the gas tax would provide the funds to fix Minnesota's roads and bridges. It's failed miserably. I predicted at the time it would fail. I wasn't alone.
It's time to start pushing the issue of finding different ways to fund road and bridge repair. If the GOP wants to provide a contrast to the DFL on transportation, which it should, this is the approach to take.

Paper: ex-head of Yerevan's Arabkir district quits RPA
April 17, 2012 - 14:28 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Former head of Arabkir district in Yerevan Hovhannes Shahinyan applied on April 16 to withdraw from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) chaired by Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan. Shaninyan confirmed the information to Haykakan Zhamanak daily without providing any details on this move.
"There is no reason for this; I just want to quit RPA. I'm currently busy with my wife's election campaign," Shaninyan told the daily's reporter. At the same time, he refuted the rumors that his withdrawal from RPA is stipulated by nomination of his spouse Satik Seyranyan, editor of 168 Hours newspaper who is running in the 4th constituency (in Arabkir) by majority system.
Haykakan Zhamanak reminds that Shaninyan was not included in RPA's proportional list. When asked by the paper's reporter whether this fact drove him to quit the party, Shahinyan replied: "Of course, no." As to the question on his potential membership with another party, ex RPA member said he is currently busy with organizing Satik Seyranyan's election campaign, and that's his only party for the moment.
Rumors came on April 16 saying some other RPA members also quitted the party; Shahinyan, however, had no information on this.
