A New Warm & Fuzzy T-Paw?

"Our Global Climate is Warming . . "

Minnesota needs:

• More renewables
• More energy conservation
• Less carbon emissions

No that's not a DFL proposal. . . or even a the musings of a classic Minnesota moderate Republican Governer - such as Elmer Anderson. It's from T-Paw's recently announced "Next Generation Energy Iniative"

Sounds liberal, yes . . . but, there's a trend here. Check out a couple of other recent headlines:

• Governor Tim Pawlenty announced today that state employees will enjoy a one-time health insurance premium "holiday" due to an excess surplus in the Minnesota . . ." (11/29/06)
  

• Gov. Pawlenty does "about face on health care" . . . says he wants to extend health insurance coverage to all Minnesota children. (11/14/06)

Spending taxpayer dollars to make nice with State employees?. . . inching toward universal healthcare? . . . and . . . eghad! . . . fighting global warming?!?!

Are these the earnest efforts of a narrowly elected governor saying "message received" to the electorate?

Or is this the grooming of a centrist, Vice President T-Paw?

Hmmmm . . . .Stay tuned.
