OTHER STATES: Same old politicians in MN

The politicians in Minnesota are spreading the same old lies by claiming they can "fix" the state by paying part-time legislators more:

"This salary is insufficient to attract many candidates who would otherwise be excellent legislators,” the task force’s report said."

The kind of people who you want to attract with high salaries are exactly the wrong kind of people to run the state. If people are in it for the salary, then they're not in it for the service of their constituents.
