I hope Governor Dayton sees this

maybe he'd stop putting so much weight on "law enforcement's" opinion of medical marijuana.

Though I don't think it's just matter of control - I think easy money for police departments through asset forfeiture is a big part of it.

I do think he's wrong on medical marijuana (and the stadium) but overall he's done a decent job and I can't imagine thinking any of the Republican challengers would be an improvement.

My wages have been flat for at least 5 years. I'm now getting poorer every year. Dayton campaigned on being against regressive taxes and did a 180.

I'm no longer falling for that "better than a Republican" crap. They have to earn my vote and stand by their promises.
