Throw in the towel

Because they ain't getting anything accomplished now. As expected, the Senate did give up it's tax proposal (who called it?), and in return they want the racino taken off the table. But things have stalled there, and there they will remain.

The Star Tribune reports that a deal may be reached to keep state parks open this weekend, but until it's signed by the governor, it doesn't make a difference what people say they will do. For those of us who were planning on going north this weekend, that would be nice. If they don't figure it out, there will be a lot of pissed-off July 4th travelers calling legislators' offices.
