St. Paul – Upon learning of Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Emmer’s “budget plan” today, Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson issued the following statement:
“Tom Emmer’s so-called plan is simply more of the same Tim Pawlenty policies of the last eight years that have failed to create family-sustaining jobs for middle class Minnesotans
As a legislator, Tom Emmer voted against job creation at nearly every turn; so it’s hard to take him seriously.
Mark Dayton is the only candidate for Governor with a proven record and plan to return Minnesota to prosperity.”
