Pawlenty unable to understand local government finance

Tim Pawlenty seems unable to grasp how local governments work. Still pushing for his irresponsible cap on property taxes, he seems to think that somehow, our cities will reduce taxes and still be able to keep the lights on or keep cops on the street.

Pawlenty turned down a DFL offer for a 5.5% cap on increases, saying it ""does not go nearly far enough in providing real property tax relief."

This isn't "property tax relief"! This shows how little Pawlenty understands how government works. This is the equivalent of limiting your family to $100 a month for groceries, and saying you got a raise.
