The Minnesota Senate played a little hokey pokey yesterday during the Senate tax bill debate. Senate Republicans, who have been the Washington Generals of the Legislature, successfully inserted a provision in the Senate tax bill that would restore Governor Pawlenty's JOBZ program in the Senate tax bill.
"Sacre Bleu!" the press corps yelled. "The Senate GOP is going to win something!"
But the win was short lived. The Senate later moved to reconsider the amendment and removed the JOBZ provision from the bill. Can anyone say bargaining chip for end of session budget negotiations?
