Governor Dayton vetoed a budget-cutting bill sent to him by the Republican-led Legislature. In his veto letter, he rightfully called out legislators for requiring $100 million in cuts but directing state agencies to make decisions on which programs to cut. Apparently, the Republicans aren’t interested in the details of budget balancing as long as they can boast about their anti-tax philosophy. Dayton’s veto will force them to be more specific about their ideas for cutting spending. And voters might not like what they hear.
