The son of one of my wife’s friends and former law partner got married yesterday. I paid extra close attention because the bigots had warned of all kinds of dire consequences if marriage equality became the law.

After ten years of Republican destruction, budget slashing and poor management and after the epic Marriage Restriction Amendment fight, the 2013 legislative session felt like a new, fresh start for Minnesota.

A recent study shows that the richest Minnesotans, MN's very own 1%, pay far far less in taxes than the rest of us do. 35% less in effective tax rate to be exact, claims Wayne Cox of Minnesota Citizens for Tax Justice.

Sen. Al Franken (DFL-MN) will introduce and Rep. Richard Nugent (R-FL) has already introduced the Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Act. This bill helps people in the criminal justice system get the mental health help they need.

We all knew the fear blasts from the proponents of the so-called "marriage"constitutional amendment would hit the airwaves right about now. We knew they'd use the basest fear-mongering appealing to the worst in people.
