Senator Michel scores 100%!

The Taxpayers League of Minnesota gave our senator a 100% rating last year. That means, among other things that the senator:

1) voted to confirm Cheri Pierson Yecke as education commissioner,

2) voted for school vouchers, which would exacerbate public school funding problems, including in Edina and Bloomington (see Spotty's Vouchers Smouchers post about the constitutionality of vouchers schemes in the state of Minnesota),

3) signed the no taxes ever, I really mean it, cross my heart and hope to die pledge,

4) voted against even a modest increase in the minimum wage, and

5) the list goes on, but Spotty urges you to go read it for yourself.
