Paul Thissen Statement on Forecast and Unemployment

Let’s not lose perspective.  A billion dollar deficit and hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans out of work is not good news.  On top of that, 8,000 veterans and 32,000 vulnerable Minnesotans run out of health care in less than 30 days.   It’s time for leaders to stop spinning and start solving problems in a way that is rooted in reality.

As opposed to selling Minnesotans a false sense of security, we need to bring real economic security to real Minnesota families.

Paul Thissen chairs the Health and Human Services Policy Committee. He’s serving his 4th term in the legislator, representing House District 63A (Richfield and South Minneapolis). Paul is a DFL candidate for governor in 2010.
