Minnesota primary election set to be held in August next year

Minnesota's primary election would be held a month earlier next year under legislation that three state senators today said they will introduce to comply with a change in federal law.

Story headline doesn't match story content. Primary isn't set until it is voted on in the legislature.

"Tim Pawlenty has said he would sign such a bill if it weren't cluttered with other controversial provisions."

"We need to get this legislation passed as soon as possible to make sure we are ready to comply with the federal election requirements next August and to allow local election officials to make the necessary preparations," Bonoff said in a press release.

LOL.
If we are to base future expectations on past performance, we can expect that the proposed legislation will be crammed with unwanted and unneeded measures and appended items; will be presented late in the next session; and Pawlenty will be blamed for not acting quickly on it.
Pretty sad when so many of us have lost so much faith in our elected representatives.

Good idea.
