Letter: The GOP’s responsibility
Each of the Republican members of the 2008 House of Representatives is as responsible as Gov. Pawlenty for the current mess our counties, cities and the less fortunate among us who need medical attention find themselves. If only three of these representatives had voted with the DFL majority to override Pawlenty’s veto of a realistic 2008 tax bill, our state would be in a much better financial position.

Letter: The GOP’s selfish agenda
Republicans want to keep our health care system as is. Before you agree or disagree with their position, consider the following. Of the score or more of developed, industrialized nations, our system is the most expensive and doesn’t cover everyone while the other countries have a national system covering everyone.
