So they want to walk out on their job early? NO pay then. Go home cons it is not like you are doing anything useful.

I think for most Minnesotans it would be an easy call for this legislature. Go home. You have done enough damage.

So some of these legislators are saying "let's get out of here before we have to finish our job so I can go campaign instead." I guess it's all about me, the legislator who wants to go home, rather than you, the people of the state who are looking for some real leaders.

Earn your money or give it back! Actually vote on legislation. Don't pass it off to the "people" in the form of constitutional amendments. That is why you were voted into office!

Go home, then you'll at least spend less money doing nothing.

Better not leave until the stadium deal is done!!!! This has to be done!!

Might as well go home now. It's not like they will be doing their jobs. Don't let the door hit you on the way out republicans. Oh.... and it might be locked in November if you try to come back in.

Blocking spending is no way to reform government.

Only in politics can you get away with trying to keep your job while not doing your job. Throw the bums out!

They want to get out of town before Brodkorb starts throwing adultery accusations, with names, around.
