Gov. Pawlenty lashed out at lawmakers today for overriding his veto of a transportation bill. Pawlenty also blamed the Democrats in control of both chambers even though eight Republicans - six in the House and two in the Senate -- also voted to override his veto.
"I don't think I had a bad day yesterday. I think it was the taxpayers of Minnesota who had a bad day. As the taxpayers of Minnesota get a full handle on what the DFL caucuses are doing to them, it's the DFL that's going to have a bad day."
Pawlenty warned lawmakers to "buckle their seat belts" for the rest of the session.
Is this circling the wagons after a stinging defeat or a harbinger for the rest of the session?
