      The hell he didn't. He destroyed our credit rating. Dayton had to fix it.

                I never had any major issues with Pawlenty. I didn’t always agree with him, but I never found him to be a knuckle dragger.

                    It didn’t help that he was governor during the Great Recession.

                    I’m not saying he was good. He was just a garden variety blue state Republican governor. Nothing like Walker.

                    Walker is dangerous.

                      Our deficit wasnt because of the Recession, it was because he cut taxes for no reason and had no way to offset the loss in revenue. He was also a Dubya lapdog so please dont tell me he wasnt dangerous.

                      Dont get me wrong, I think overall he was a nice guy but as a politician his actions bankrupted a state that had no business being in trouble by doing the exact same thing is neo-conartist masters did on the Federal Level.

                        The economic upshot of the Pawlenty administration:

                        Pawlenty has been criticized by some for providing a short-term budget solution but coming up short in his long-term strategy as governor. Former Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson, a Republican, criticized Pawlenty's budget strategy: he borrowed more than $1 billion from the tobacco settlement (money set aside for health care), borrowed more than $1.4 billion from K-12 education funding, borrowed more than $400 [million] from the Health Care Access Fund for low-income families, among other short-term shifts in accounting. The result was a $5-billion deficit, the seventh largest in the United States. While Pawlenty said he was "confident" in his right to use unallotment, the Minnesota Supreme Court ultimately decided against him. Minnesota property taxes rose $2.5 billion, more than the previous 16 years combined, and Moody's lowered the state's bond rating. Carlson told Time, "I don't think any governor has left behind a worse financial mess than he [Pawlenty] has."

                        - wiki

                        Dayton turned what turned out to be a $6B deficit into a $1.65B surplus and put $2B in reserve in case of a serious downturn. Between 2015 and 2017, MN was called the best state in the country for business, the second best run state, and the best state for job creation.

                          They're the same thing. They follow the same thinking. Their goals are exactly the same. The Republican playbook is pretty simple to follow and pretty easy to figure out. Pawlenty was extremely dangerous.

                            I've never been harmed by Pawlenty, but I have by Walker. Whatever Pawlenty did, he would have to be nasty bad to win that draw.

                            But hey, we've been making a little progress lately. Little steps count if they are in the right direction.

                              Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced he is running for governor Thursday, attempting a restoration after eight years out of office that saw his DFL successor move the state in a more progressive direction at odds with Pawlenty’s tenure.

                                I dont see that working out well for him in any way. Minneapolis and St. Paul (not to mention Rochester and Duluth) like money too much.
