The people of Arizona elected their Governor to lead, not to postulate. Governor Smith's insistence on holding up vital aid in order to cut the amount of aid given is nothing short of cruelty, and the campaign to seek his recall is just. Hopefully, the impasse will be resolved - one way or another.

I will not and will never hold up aid to satisfy elitist special interest groups from coastal states that don't speak for and don't represent Minnesota. I have fostered a good compromise that has delivered one of the highest state minimum wages in the United States, and more material aid than most states are receiving. Minnesotans will emerge stronger from this crisis, because we have chosen not to indulge distractions to real change.
