Rep. Ron Erhardt (R?-Edina) is one of the six who voted for the Transit Bill that was going to raise the state and metro sales taxes. Yet he has also is the chief author of House File 2551 a bill to:
So let me get this straight....we are going to repeal the clothing exemption - thus raising taxes on working class Minnesotans EVEN MORE and then we are going to decrease the sales tax in this bill so that we can raise it in another? If we decrease the sales tax, Rep. Erhardt, how are we going to be paying for the toy trains in the metro? Inquiring minds really want to know.

Erhardt needs to go. I know Edina suffers from terrible success guilt but you would think the R's would get a bit more spine than to let this guy claim to be a part of the party.
