Dayton wants 13,000 workers spared from shutdown

•   threre will be about 1 million new veterans added to the 22 million American veterans as active-duty service members leave the military over the next five years.This increase in veterans to serve means a larger budget for the Department of Veterans Affairs. President Barack Obama's proposed budget includes $140.3 billion for the VA to cover the 2012 fiscal year beginning Oct.

•  When employees are injured on the job, they ere entitled to certain benefits including medical care, lost wages, permanent impairment, disfigurement, and permanent disability.  Unfortunately Workers’ Compensation is a very complicated, fast-paced, and technical – your claim and benefits can be closed, limited, or lost without your knowledge or permission.

• Maybe you should be WORKING while at your job. SLACKER

• My bad. Trying to do several things at once, like commenting on this blog, while keeping my job.  Perhaps if I was a professional writer, or I had a editor. Does anyone else find it racist that there in no such thing as a "white" council of sorts? Or has Dayton decided that is essential so it's not on the list?

• Kirk-the arts board is on the list of things NOT included in the governor's list.  meaning, it will be shut down.

• Instead of signing a balanced budget from the legislature that increased spending by $2,000,000 Gov Dayton is willing to shut down 2/3's of the state workers in order to raise taxes? What kind of logic is that? Approximately 23,000 state workers will not be paid this summer? What will the ripple effect be? Maybe closing 46 agencies will allow the budget to be even less taxing going forward.

• Look at all the Oversight and Commissionary "boards" he feel are essential. Dayton says: "Screw them hard working middle class employees! Make sure their high paid bosses all have jobs though." I just noticed "arts board" WTF is that, and why is that essential? Here we go again- Lets see, per the democrats: Feeding the poor - unessential Healthcare for the disabled - unessential Police and Fire - unessential Watering the plants in the street medians and boulevards -  essential Funding for art fairs - essential Government building improvements - essential Watch and wait, and you will see!  What party, does your mayor belong to?  What will they threaten to cut first?  What did they decide to keep? Remember when Rybak was cutting police and fire, but installing 6 planters at $50,000 a piece?  Drinking fountains on the hydrants? They will tell to cut your water usage during drought, but their grass never looked greener. Watch and learn, the true evil is going to expose itself.
