I’m really trying to understand the DFL’s endgame now that the governor has done what everyone knew he would do: veto the DFL budget bill that included a tax hike for the wealthy. I understand the impulse to paint the governor and Republicans in general as friends of the rich, but this whole exercise seems pointless when less than a week remains in the regular session. And most voters don’t care about politics; they want results. As much as I respect what the DFL leadership is trying to do, I’m not sure they appreciate that this kind of gamesmanship only fuels voter anger.
