At his press conference announcing his bonding bill vetos, Gov. Pawlenty had a favorite symbol of misplaced priorities by DFLers who put the bill together: a sheet music lending library in Chatfield, Minnesota. He singled out a $400,000 bonding proposal for the library in his discussion of the bill.
