Since one contribute (Hohman) says that we need compromise on both sides to avoid the serious cuts to Mpls school aids in the state budget deliberations, I would like to remind list readers of one of the real ununderstandables of the situation. Pawlenty and the House Republicans have drawn a line saying they must have a greater financial cushion and must have structural cuts into the 2004-2005 biennium or the Guv will go ahead and cut on his own. It should be pointed out that in unallotment the Guv will end up with no cushion and no structural change as he can only unallot to meet the current deficit. So if their rhetoric on what they really want means anything, they would accept the Senate's original position to get some cushion and some structural change...not to mention that the Senate has now offered more of both.
