Unallotment Ruling Discussed


Minnesota legislators say they still trying to determine the impact of a recent court ruling that declared Governor Tim Pawlenty overstepped his bounds by using the executive power of unallotment to unilaterally reduce spending.


Speaking at International Falls city council last night, house representative Tom Anzelc said civic leaders need to have patience while the issue gets sorted out.

"I'm advising all local election officials, school boards, county commissioners, city councils, town board just to be patience because we don't know where this will take Minnesota," said Anzelc.

Pawlenty is appeal the ruling which Anzelc hopes can be dealt with shortly.
