More insightful comments by Tom Emmer!

The following is from a Coon Rapids publication. Mr. Emmer will undoubtedly continue to provide the "liberal media" and bloggers with more gems.

Deputy House Minority Leader Tom Emmer, R-Delano, doesn’t smoke and doesn’t like smoke curling about the room.

But Emmer in column lit up Democrats for support of a statewide smoking ban.“The new junta of Democratic legislative leaders has declared a statewide smoking ban as the top priority on their thin agenda for the upcoming legislative session,” writes Emmer.

“That baffles me. How property taxes, education reform, health care reform and funding for roads and bridges do not top that list of priorities is in a word, outrageous!”

While some Democrats support a statewide smoking ban, in recent weeks they listed property tax relief, education and health care as top priorities.
