Power Line’s new guy, Bill Glahn writes about the political dynamics behind all the bad, awful, no-good news coming out of Minnesota.
The decision by Democrats - the party known locally as Democrat Farm Labor - was to import “new Americans” whose votes could be bought with liberal doses of taxpayer money. The result is this.
Rather than producing a state of 5.7 million shiny, happy people, these policies result in more news than can be consumed locally.
Rather than a blissful socialist utopia, Minnesota ended up with a looted treasury and near-constant social unrest. It would have ended no other way. Minnesota is a failed state under current ownership.
It's nearly as bad as California. See this additional Glahn column which elaborates on the theme of systemic failure.
