Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. For too long, those in power at the Capitol have bowed to the special interests and huge corporations, and not done much to help small businesses and entrepreneurs. More than 90% of all Minnesota businesses are “microbusinesses," firms with fewer than 10 people in the business. Their needs, priorities and issues are very different than those of big business and we must support them to provide a more level playing field.The incumbent is Rep. Pat Garofalo (R-Farmington). I wouldn’t call him Minnesota’s most ridiculous right-wing legislator, nor its stupidest. The competition for those titles is absolutely intense. But he is, in my estimation, the most obnoxious.
I try to maintain a certain detached objectivity when blogging, and I have “flattened emotional affect” in any case. But Ms. Vagts is so obviously cool and righteous, and Rep. Garofalo is so very, very obviously neither of those, that I would take special pleasure in seeing this one flip.
