In my opinion, it was probably the worst case of legislation and bad acting I've seen in 20 years. It was lawmakers literally disregarding the legislation before them. I'm extremely disappointed.

It is clear after today anyone still supporting legislation to dissolve the Second Injury Fund is not acting in the best interests of small businesses.

Look, there's an element in acting where they hand you a script, and you know everything there is to know about this character. You know what's going to happen at the end of the movie. That in itself gives you a sense of world-weariness. It's like knowing your own death, every time.

If we don't get this done, the very soul of Minnesota will be lost.

The problem is, hunters and anglers have day jobs. They're lunch-pail sort of guys. They can't take a day off work to visit the Capitol. But we're making an attempt this year.

Since everybody benefits from our natural resources, shouldn't everybody have to pay for them?
