Better Than Nothing
It looks like I'll be getting back half of the vacation time that I lost during last summer's partial government shutdown. I'm sure Pawlenty is trying to address the remaining shutdown-related issues in the hopes that they won't come back to bite him during election season, but I'm not impressed with this half-hearted gesture to appease state workers. Of course, I didn't expect much more from this governor. I do hope that the Legislature enacts safeguards to ensure that state government remains operational even when our elected representatives can't play nice with each other.
