If it is one thing the politicians in MN are certain to do is to favor businesses and special interest far above the average person.

Heck, Before Norm Coleman was finally removed from office, I had called his office up over an issue and was told "I do not deal with the normal people of the state, only the business people". So flat out stating he could care less about the people of the state unless they can contribute large sums of money.

I am sure other states are like that as well. Politicians do not represent the people. they represent their own personal interests.
