It is definately looking like it will. This plan just makes things ten times worse 2 years from now. NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM...this tactic is called passing the buck !!!! I highly doubt it will pass. State workers hang on to your belts! and I would not hold out hope!!!!!

We have an overbloated state government in comparison to most other states! Do your research before you post more BS!!!!! There is a reason MN is shut down and it's because of idiots like YOU.

We have got 20,000 state workers that are currently NON-ESSENTIAL! - also known as NOT NEEDED, Reduce it by 50% and you should be just fine! An attorney heavily involved in this is saying the shutdown is planned to last 10 weeks and then by law half of the state workers can PERMANENTLY be laid off! Let's hope this happens!!!!

Very good question! keep them out of there or just hire a few more essentials back and keep the rest laid off!!! 20,000 Non essential state workers- What a TOTAL JOKE Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:01:30 +0000 http://kstp.com/news/stories/S2197265.shtml?cat=1#IDComment173196275 http://kstp.com/article/stories/S2197018.shtml?cat=1#IDComment173192102 Thanks for all the thumbs up! When you hear that they average 8-10 week vacation and take home an nice $60,000average annual salary. That is enough to make me so angry!!!! Not to mention they have the top tier in health care benefits of anyone in the entire state, of which they pay next to nothing out of pocket for- MADDENING! more people should be outraged by the bloated size of our government. When 20,000 TWENTY THOUSAND poeple are laid off and most don't see a difference!!!----SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!! Cut state worker #'s in half!!!!!

We have one of the most lazy, overpaid, overbloated state governments in the nation! Keep 'er shutdown till atleast half these idiots that work for the state quit and find real jobs. Good luck with that!!!
